Upon entering my classroom, the students will know what is expected of them with clearly stated expectations concerning respect and being part of a learning community. It is very important to establish the rules in the beginning so that the students have a clear perspective of how they have to behave. At the same time they should realize that consequences will occur if the expectations are not met. The students will participate, not only in establishing the expectations, but the consequences as well. This will empower them in creating their classroom community which will make the rewards much more important. I created these amazing list of rules and consequences, attached below, that will assist in the success of my future classroom!
