Our Classroom Rules

Last Friday we generated a list of about 40 rules students thought we should follow to make our year productive, safe, and respectful. Today we realized that many of the rules fit under one of 3 rules:

1) Make good decisions for yourself.

2) Be respectful to others and to the school.

3) Be safe.

We broke up into 3 small groups to create wonderfully colorful and informative posters about these rules and hung them in our classroom for everyone to see and refer to!

Later we went outside for some fresh air and sunshine. We played the game "Telephone" and discussed how this can be compared to gossiping and rumors and talking behind someone's back.

Tonight the first homework packet is being sent home. We started math today, which was introducing us to our Student Reference Books. In school we have one set of the new version's Student Reference Book ("SRB") and I sent home the old version to keep. Please be aware that the page numbers given on homework might not match the old version which is at home, but the student's now know how to look each topic up. On tomorrow's schedule: our individual goals for 4th grade!
