On the first day of school the class and I had an important conversation about why we are at school and what is expected while we are at school.  During that conversation we made our classroom rules and I wanted to share those rules with you.

1. We are at here to learn.

• We will try our best to listen.
• We will try our hardest while we are working.

• If I don't know how to do something I will ask for help .

2. We will follow the Willow Brook Way

• We will be peaceful. We will get along with others.
• We will be respectful.  We will think about other people's feelings.
• We will be responsible. We will keep our classroom safe and clean.
