In our classroom, rules provide the structure that allows every student to learn in a safe, respectful, and supportive environment. They are not meant to limit us, but to guide us so that everyone has an equal opportunity to grow and succeed. When we follow the rules, we create a space where ideas can be shared without fear, where mistakes are seen as part of learning, and where kindness and respect are the foundation of how we treat one another. Classroom rules ensure that each of us has the opportunity to stay focused, feel comfortable, and do our very best together.
