In my classroom, I teach the students about respecting each other as well as themselves. I teach to out opportunities to learn with each other. We are in this together! We may not always agree and that's okay, however we have to be kind and value each student. We think, share, and care about what others think. I try not to think about these as being "class rules" as much as "values." I hope this creates an environment that is safe and fun to learn in. It's okay to make mistakes because that's how we all learn. Our classroom is a safe place for that to occur. I talk to the class about our choices and how they impact us daily. We discuss behavior and try to think about ways we can modify our behavior if needed. I'm looking forward to this school year and can't wait to learn right along with the class.
