what's your motto?

For quite a while now I have been admiring all kind of these canvases all over blog world.

I had been wanting to create one but I didn't have a place to put it, not only because I do not have a home of my own (I feel like Virginia Woolf - longing for a room of my own!) but also because I do not yet have my own family to have "family rules" for. Then this past week I was setting up my classroom. I thought I would share one of of the projects I completed with you. These are my class rules, if you will, though I have titled it "Our Motto." I like to keep them simple, brief, easy to remember. Even though I am teaching 1st grade I don't think children need to be dumbed down. I expect them to act like people, and treat others like people. So my rules for my class are exactly what a day-to-day life motto should be. Don't you think the world would be a little better if we all followed these rules?




check out the old school, literally, paper and stickers in the background!

I love that you made one for your classroom - I also love that you don't "dumb it down" for the kids... I think that is so important :)

You are such an awesome teacher! I love that is handmade and not on some virtual smartboard. It just makes me smile when I look at it! I'm sorry I've been absent for awhile-crazy transitions going on here!
