Writing a Class Book

Today Room 20 began writing a new Class Book for our classroom.  

Yesterday Mrs. Deyoe was away and not all of us treated our guest teacher respectfully.  Because of this, we discovered that our room had a need.  We needed to treat our guest teachers with respect, the same respect that we show Mrs. Deyoe so that they feel welcome and happy when they visit us.  So to help them, we are writing a class book.  This book will help the guest teacher know our routines and what the expectations are both in our classroom and our school.  Together we wrote the first page of our book as a shared writing piece, letting guest teachers know what they can expect from us.

Here is our writing...

Welcome to our classroom!  We are Team 20.  We hope you are happy during your day here.  Do you know what our classroom rules are?  They are:

~Keeping our hands and feet to yourself.

~No talking when someone else is talking.  DON'T interrupt!

~We believe in keeping our classroom clean and tidy.

~Be respectful to everybody even if they aren't being respectful to you.

We believe that guest teachers should be treated nicely and we will treat you like we treat Mrs. Deyoe.  Please ask us if you need help.  We hope you feel special here.  Enjoy your day!

Next we are going to brainstorm ideas for what guest teachers need to know to be successful in our school and each student is going to write on one of the ideas.
