Classroom Norms, Expectations and Agreements
We started this semester off with student written Health Class Norms/Agreements/Expectations. Each 6th grade section wrote and agreed on on how they would like to be treated in class creating categories such as: Respect, Responsibility, Kindness, Cooperation and How they might support each other. These are posted on the wall of the classroom, easily visible and easy to refer to if needed.
