Classroom Rules / Behavior Management Plan 1. The classroom is for learning, therefore we will not play in the classroom; this means we will not push, shove, hit, or kick fellow classmates. 2. We will treat others the way we want to be treated. We will respect others while they are speaking by not interrupting them. 3. We will take care of classroom supplies, as well as our own. We will not take other students supplies without permission. 4. We will do our best work, and conduct ourselves in a respectful manner at all times. We will work quietly and productively, always doing our best. If we do not understand assignments, we will ask questions. 5. We will be RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE, and SAFE at ALL TIMES!
