Classroom rules are the foundation of any successful management system. Are you tired of prize boxes, desk pets, and reward jars...? They are all great, but first we need to teach students the basics of our expectations! With material incentives, you also need to constantly add more and more. Even if you like to make your classroom rules WITH the students at the beginning of the year, you can still use this resource! There are slides for you to write your own rules. I would condense all of student ideas into 3 short rules. The rules posters provided are also very general and are probably things that most students would say! All teachers should have a foundation of simple rules and consequences in their classroom. This system is based on the "three strikes" concept. You can also utilize logical consequences with this resource. Ditch the headache of a long list of classroom rules and use these simple rules that will cover most behavior problems. This resource also includes consequences... yes, consequences! When students break a rule the first time, they receive a warning. Second time, I tell them to take a "reset" which means they can sit in our calm down area for a few minutes (you can also use a logical consequence for this step). Third time, I reach out to parents (if possible <3) or admins. As a teacher, you should not have to handle everything alone! The trick to integrating consequences is to stay calm as the teacher. Show you students that it is OK to make mistakes and do not get emotional. It is also important to have an overall positive attitude as the teacher! This has worked wonderfully in my classroom, and I can't wait to see how it works in yours! ♡ Included in this resource: All designs are simple for a purpose: rules and consequences are serious matters! 4 sets of poster designs (rainbow and kid clipart) Consequences poster Templates of all posters for you to create your own simple rules!
