Classroom Etiquette Warning Loss of Recess Loss of earned free time We will have 4 simple rules for our room…Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Ready and Be Positive. We will discuss ways to demonstrate both and the outcomes of those behaviors. By agreeing to these rules we will make our classroom a fun and safe place to be. Consequences are an obvious result of misbehavior. Hopefully, we can take many steps to resolve issues when they arise before severe consequences are given.
