Mrs. Betbeze's Second Grade Class

At the beginning of the school year I spend the first two weeks of school teaching school and classroom rules and procedures. I like to teach my students about class rules, procedures, community building and character using children's literature books followed by an activity that will help them remember what we learned. For example, I read the Rainbow Fish to teach the students the importance of sharing. After reading the book I have the students share ways that they can share with another in the classroom and I record their ideas on chart paper.

Please share an idea/activity that you use in your classroom to teach rules and procedures or how you teach rules and procedures in your class.
