1. Be respectful- To yourself, classmates, teachers and school staff, simply put, treat others the way you want to be treated. (Sign that hangs right out my classroom door :)

2. Be responsible- students need to taught at an early age that they are just as responsible for their learning as the teacher is. This also applies to taking care of their own personal and school belongings.

3. Be Kind to others and caring towards others.

4. Be a worker! Students are encouraged to apply themselves to the best of their abilities in their school work.

5. Be cooperative- students are willing to help others when needed and to work productively with others.

Classroom rules I developed for my grade 3 class after googling. My rules used to start with "No", but after two years I decided that I needed and wanted something more inviting, after all the only thing we hear as a staff is No, Do Not, Can't, from the Principals mouth and decided that that is not the environment I wanted for my students.
