rules in school
By pcm

Clip to ScrapBook   
We start by brainstorming goals (hopes and dreams) for the school year.Then we talk about how we need to act in class to achieve those hopes and dreams. We make a list of rules together and narrow it down to maybe 4. I try
to get them to avoid rules that start with "No" and put it positively - like "Walk in the halls" One person speaks at a time,Use kind words,statements like that. Then I print up their short list and they all sign it to indicate that they agree with our rules and will follow them.(Left on their own kids will make up dozens of rules - thats too many. But you do need to talk about what "Being
GOOD" really means(thats too vague a rule) and what "Respect" means. Things like that. I kind of approach it like they are ALL already well behaved students and I expect no behavior problems.( Then I hope for a self-fulilling prophecy)
