Our Classroom Rules

Last week we worked together to create our rules for our classroom.  The students came up with the following rules:

• Be safe
• Be kind
• Take care of materials 
• Listen to others and wait your turns

We read the book What if Everybody Did That? after we created the rules and used the book as a reminder for why we have rules.  We thought of how people might break the rules and asked "What if everybody did that?

Examples: 

• Shouting out when you have an idea could get really loud if everyone did it. 
• Rushing to be first in line could be unsafe if everyone did it because people would get pushed.

Here is a recording I found of the book if your child would like to listen to it again.
