• We share.
• We let everyone play.
• Walking feet are for inside. Running feet are only for outside.

• 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.
