Class Rules As a class we brainstormed all the rules we needed to follow in order to have a successful learning environment. Be Respectful and Be Responsible The kids wanted to refer to these as “The 2 Rsfor Rock Stars”
Class Mission Statement We did a carousel activity to help us come up with a class mission statement. I was so IMPRESSED with the students take on our purpose for being here. “In our classroom we will learn by working hard, taking our time, concentrating and always doing our best. By doing this and following rules we will be on track to attend college, get a great job, and live an amazing life.”
