Classroom Community
Our school is a small community. In our community,
our class is like a small family, we will decide as a
group what is most important to us in order to
function best and be the most successful. This will
drive our creation of a Class Constitution together
in the first week.
My non-negotiables are:
Be kind, respectful and responsible.
Be organized and follow directions.
