Classroom Rules

I feel like classroom rules are hard to pin down because there are so many little things to think about. I usually like to stick the to the motto of respect. That means respecting yourself, others, the classroom and supplies. I've made a detailed list of different respects for my classroom on a previous blog that is much more specific.

I feel that having specific classroom procedures are just as vital as well. Going over these with the students in the first days of school would really help to set up the expectations for the students and clarify what is okay and what it not.

I've seen some of the students at the elementary execute the rules of respect, and even seen some students call each other out when they aren't being respectful. The more you positively enforce and remind he students of the rules and expectations the more likely they will follow them.
