Student Instruction

School Instructions:

When it comes to creating classroom rules, consider including your students in the process. As students take part in making the rules, they take ownership in the rules. They’ll will work to follow them and make sure that their classmates are following them, too. Of course, you can sway your students to choose ones that encompass all the necessary rules for your classroom. Think about some of the top classroom rules to help you.

Although you should stick to 4 or 5 rules, here are the top 10 classroom rules for elementary schools for your consideration:

1. Be on time at the beginning of the day and after lunch or recess breaks.
