It's been a long, productive process, but we finally made it to the end! We have our rules for the classroom. It all started with the students generating a list of all the rules they believed were important for us to follow. This list contained a lot of "Don't do..." and "No..." We worked at turning those negative statements around into positive ones that stated what we should do. From there we worked the long list into categories, and then named each category. The list was narrowed down to a few final choices and then today the students voted on which ones they believed would help us do our best learning every day. And the winners are:
"Do Your Best Work"
"Show Empathy For Others"
"Take Responsibility For Your Actions"
We will be working hard every day to maintain a positive learning climate that lives and breathes by these reminders. Take Care.
