What Respect Looks Like in Our 5th Grade Classroom

🗣️ Someone is speaking

Eyes and attention on the speaker; waiting your turn

✋ You want to say something

Raising your hand and waiting to be called on

🤝 Group work

Listening to everyone's ideas and disagreeing kindly

📚 Learning

Allowing others to think and work without distracting them

🙋 Someone needs help

Helping without making them feel embarrassed

💭 Someone has a different opinion

Saying, “I see it differently because…” instead of arguing

😕 You make a mistake

Owning it, apologizing if necessary, and fixing it

😡 You are frustrated

Controlling your words and actions instead of taking it out on someone

🏫 Classroom materials

Taking care of books, desks, supplies, and other people's belongings

👩‍🏫 Adults are speaking

Listening and following directions the first time

🦖 You are corrected

Accepting the correction without arguing and making a better choice

❤️ Respecting yourself

Doing your best, speaking positively about yourself, and making choices you can be proud of
