Classroom Rules Posters

I know people always say to create your class rules with your students at the beginning of the year, and I agree! Although I also like to have my 5 rules that do not change from year to year. I keep them looking nice all year long. I was looking around for class rules that I felt worked well with every classroom and every type of student. Finally, I just decided to make my own. These are my top 5 favorite rules that work in every situation:

1) Raise your hand to speak or stand

2) Follow directions QUICKLY

3) LISTEN when your teacher is talking

4) RESPECT others, yourself, and your school

5) Be SAFE, be KIND, be HONEST

I post these up from my room day one. Then my students and I can come up with other rules and post those on chart paper that we create together (not as cute, but necessary and important!)

I was just going to post the posters, but then thought it would be so much cuter if I put them in frames! You can get these frames that fit 8 1/2 by 11 paper from dollar tree! A great deal! I was considering putting colored cardstock behind the rules to add a little color, but decided to paint the frames instead! 

Now all I need to do is use adhesive tape to stick these to the wall! It takes up no bulletin board space, and is in a place where my students can see them all day, every day!

Daily Behavior Charts

The other day I got an email from a mother who said that she and her husband talked and decided they were going to start being more strict about their child's behavior at school (Wahoo!! I wish all parents cared about their child's behavior at school)! She wanted me to somehow track her child's behavior at school and let her know how he does each day. So as I always do...I turn to Pinterest and Teachers Pay Teachers to find the perfect behavior chart for him. After 30 minutes of searching, nothing was just right for what I needed. Voila! That's when I decided to create my own daily behavior chart. I created a couple different versions because I have different behavior charts for certain students needs. Many of my students behave fine in my class, but when they go to another room or go to specialties than their behavior goes down. So I created some behavior charts for the class, and for specialties. Then I also have some students who need SPECIFIC items they look for daily, or even hourly. I just kept creating behavior charts for each of my students needs and can I just say....the behavior from my students in my classroom is so much BETTER! This time of year especially seems hard for students to keep up good behavior, sometimes you just need to have these charts for the last week of school.
