I Can Help My School Be A Great Learning Environment

When a new year rolls around, kids may need some reminders on how things went the year before. A quick review of rules is helpful when transitioning year to year. Summer slacking gets kids out of the school routine and you need to get that back as soon as you can. This story was written for a student who came back amped up when he returned for a second year at our school. We needed to get him back in the groove, so some quick reminders did the trick. So if you have a friend who didn't come back the way they left, give this a try. Enjoy!

I am in 2nd grade this year.  I have many more responsibilities at school this year. One of the most important things is to help my school be a great learning  environment for myself and other kids.

I can help keep it a place where kids can do their best to learn by following all the school and classroom rules.

I will try to not open the PE door and scream in the gym when I go by.

I will try to keep my voice to myself, unless I have permission to talk or it is free time.

My body needs to be in control at all times by keeping as still as I can when it is work time or time to sit in Community Circle.

Even though it is only the 2nd day of school, these are rules that I followed last year and are expected to follow this year.

I can help make my school a great place to learn by remembering this plan. This will be a great school year!
