Your purchase of Classroom Rules for Elementary School includes multiple image options of the following full-color visual rules:

• We use looking eyes and listening ears when the teachers are talking.
• We raise our hands when we need the teacher's help or attention.
• We clean up our toys when we are done playing with them.
• We clean up our materials when we are done using them.
• We say "Please" when we need help or are asking for something.
• We say "Thank you" when someone helps us or gives us something.
• We say sorry if we hurt someone or have been unkind to them.
• We share.
• We let everyone play.
• Walking feet are for inside. Running feet are only for outside.
• We clean our hands before we eat.
• We use our words. We do not scream or tantrum.
• We stay with our class. We do not leave without permission.
• We walk together in a straight line in the hallway.

PLUS

• A PowerPoint template page with the same Classroom Rules for Elementary borders (10 different options, 40 pages each), allowing you to create a matching rule poster for any that you need to add specifically for your class. This can also be used as an additional activity, allowing your students to create their own visual rule that they think would be appropriate for the classroom.

Your Purchase of Classroom Rules for Elementary School also comes with 4 different activities that can be used individually, with small groups, or with the entire class for teaching any classroom expectation. Use these activities to start discussions of why we have that rule and what might happen if that rule wasn't in place.

Included Activities:

• Thinking About Rules
• Considering Specific Rules (editable to include your chosen rule)
• Following the Rules: Letter Writing
• Following the Rules: Writing a Paragraph (includes 2 different graphic organizers)

Building a respectful classroom community starts with having well-established and understood expectations for behavior. Especially when working with younger grades, it can really help to have a visual representation of your expectations rather than just words. Visual rules give you something to point to when reminding them, as well as being there to prompt them visually without you having to say anything.

You may also be interested in my book companion to That Rule Doesn't Apply to Me, written by Julia Cook.

Use this banner to select a student weekly. I hang ribbon under the banner and clip the child's name to it. I also teach two sections so I actually hang two ribbons! The kids love seeing who will be selected each week! I try not to base the student of the week on grades and try to focus more on improvement shown, effort, etc. I give each child a small certificate that they can take home, and the best part is that they also get to visit the treasure chest! Hope you find it helpful in not only managing classroom behavior but also in improving student morale!
