Classroom Rules and Logical Consequences

Our Classroom Rules Poster

Everyday our class is becoming more and more comfortable with school and classroom routines. We are working on “hallway manners” and on the whole, we receive many compliments as we walk down the hall! Mrs. Spencer reports that the children are listening well and enjoying P.E.

Last week, as a class, we came up with our four general classroom rules. There are four rules the children agreed upon. We all “signed” the rules with our fingerprints, including Mrs. Clark and myself. (We are all accountable.) This week, I am introducing what happens when we break the rules. There are three consequences in our classroom:

  1. “You Break it, You Fix it”
  2. Loss of Privilege
  3. Take a Break
Children were understanding of these consequences. We talked about how everyone makes mistakes or might forget a rule, which doesn’t mean they are bad, just they needed a little reminder. I am confident that these and our classroom rules will allow us to have a wonderful year together.

Guided Discovery of Watercolors

As I said to your children, we have already had many good consequences happen because of their great efforts. We opened up many new materials – including water colors last week! This class sure loves to paint and draw!
