Week 4: The Rules

In this week's lesson, we had a great time learning about rules, why we have rules, and how we should make them.  Rules are important in the young learner classroom because like routines, they give clear expectations for behavior.  Rules also help us establish a classroom culture for children that is separate from their home culture.  It is also helpful for students to become accustomed to following rules in preparation for living with the rules of society. 

If anyone wants to read more about rules, find the book, Rules in School in the resource center. It outlines the process very well and also has some other important class management things in it.
