Back to school! Classroom Rules
|
Just a little hello from me !
 Here �s a pic of what I did for the bulletin board"
We are very busy,busy BEES"! /classroom rules together with my pupils.
Within the first days of class, it �s essential to establish classroom rules, management plans, and show students how it all works before other activities begin.
Some years I have let the children make suggestions as to the consequences. Other years, I created class rules by myself..
it depends greatly on the children.
This year I let them create their own classroom rules and make a contract that makes them feel in control and confident of classroom expectations.
-First I put the students in groups
-I gave 10 minutes to brainstorm a list of three positive classroom rules.
-Groups wrote their choices on the paper.
-Then I asked the whole class to find the most common rules between all groups. -At the end they voted on top five .
-A large copy of the contract will be placed on the classroom wall for reminders.
Here are our class rules for the new year:
Respect teacher and classmates!
Raise your hand to speak!
Work quietly and do not disturb others!
Follow directions !
Always try your best!
 Have a great and successful year everyone!

Lovely bulletin board, Victoria! Preparing a classroom with lively bulletin boards is the only thing I really miss about not being a school teacher anymore.
Thanks for sharing your great idea! |

Great idea. I use in my classes a similar idea. Let the pupils decided on their own rules and in the end add some of my own. Most of the time they actually repeat rules from previous years (which from year to year stay the same - depend on the age). But I must say that the idea of busy bees and using the BE... it �s wonderful and creative!!
