In the beginning of the year, I collaborate with my second graders to come up with a set of rules that we will live by in our community. They are more apt to follow the rules that they help to create. I also add to these my own expectations for classroom behavior. We then create a document that lists or classroom rules and together sign it. Throughout the year I refer to this document to help redirect certain behaviors. The students also now that there are consequences to breaking the rules. Being consistent I believe is key.
