Hello, I am a new teacher and will be teaching kindergarten this upcoming school year. What is the best way you think to present classroom rules to this grade level?
flackaCreate the rules with the class so that they take ownership. You can guide the list and summarize (no hitting, don't say mean words = be nice) There should be a MAXIMUM of 5 rules. Go over them every day for at least a week and then less often or as needed.

Tell the students this means to "STOP" and Create a Large picture of an amber (yellow) EAR sign means Listen Create a Large picture of green circle that means GO AND THE LAST RULE IS LOOK WITH A SET OF EYES. Each sign will need to be demonstrated by 3 children until the entire class has a turn of rotating the three new rules every day of the week. This will become a repetition every day during class you will hold the sign up and have the students demonstrate what the sign is telling them to do. This can become a following directions activity, with shapes, and colors. They can color a different sign each day. The parents can help them with cutting pictures to create the same activity for homework. Cut a picture of 2 stop signs, and paste them side by side, Cut a picture of 2 ears and paste them side by side, Cut a picture of 2 green circles and paste them side by side, THE LAST RULE IS LOOK WITH A SET OF EYES DRAW 2 SETS and paste them side by side,Now have them trace the words red and STOP, EAR sign means Listen, green circle that means GO. THE LAST RULE IS LOOK WITH A SET OF EYES. THESE ACTIVITIES WILL LAST UNTIL EVERY CHILD HAS LEARNED THE 4 GOLDEN RULES IN SCHOOL. God Luck!!!!
Elaine/ret/INFirst post vanished. Trying again. JRod, is your itching a typical allergy for you? Sounds nay. Men, what a storm. Proud gram with your 4-H kids. And skills to eat. Yum. 30 minutes walking. 45 of yoga. Not enough steps, but ...
Our resort was 2 hours into Big Bend and we stopped at the dinosaur exhibit before arriving to our final destination. Hot, dry desert with beautiful scenery!
We attempted 2 other hikes but it was way too roughed for our level of experience, So, we drove the scenic routes. My mother was so happy to see places that she has read about.
On the way home, we took another route and stopped in Presidio and Marfa. We ate in Presidio since there wasn't too much we wanted to see. In Marfa, famous for its mysterious lights, was much more fun. We met a man that was selling hats. He made the hats for lots of movies (Tombstone, Lonesome Dove and more). Interesting stories! Also, we visited the Paisano Hotel where the cast of the movie Giant stayed while filming here. Beautiful hotel!
All in all, it was a great trip!
Today I had to make up for the Friday workout of week three and start week four. Lots of weight was lifted today!
judycaretNo caregiver yesterday or today, so no walks, but I did a little housewalking yesterday and weights today. I'm enjoying catching up on your exercise and loved your travelogue, Jarod.
I thought I had it figured out to comment, but as usual I failed again. There has to be some system that is staring me in the face that works, but I am failing to figure out what I did the few times I have succeeded. I wonder why this is such a problem for me?
Elaine/ret/INBob, the "sort by" menu is the problem, I think. The comments only work in Sort by New Posts. Which is, I think, the same as "Teacher Chatboard." Do you have any guess as to when the board will be "finished?" It seems to have been in progress for months and still very basic problems persist.
The disadvantage is that they will sort by the date of the recent comments, rather than by original posting dates, and also, you will have to scroll down through everything. I prefer to sort by topic list, but . . .
I have also found that that "teachers" click in step 1 works sort of as a back button.
