KindergartenCLASSROOM RULES Classroom rules are based on providing a safe learning

environment that can be enjoyed by all students.

WALK INSIDE! Why---to keep our body safe from bumps & bruises

USE AN INSIDE VOICE! Why---loud noises hurt our ears & it's hard to think & learn!

BE KIND! Why---doing something kind feels GOOD to us & to our friends!

FOLLOW DIRECTIONS! Why---so you can learn new things & know how to stay safe!

USE WORDS, DON'T HIT OR HURT OTHERS! Why---so people know what you need & can listen to you!
