The Five Rules

The five rules are: 
"Rule number 1:" (leader of the day, holding up one finger)
"Rule number 1:  Follow directions quickly." (entire class, with motions) 
(pattern repeats with rules 2-5)
Rule number 2:  Raise your hand for permission to speak.
Rule number 3:  Raise your hand for permission to leave your seat.
Rule number 4:  Make smart choices.
Rule number 5:  Make your dear teacher happy.

Our leader leads us in reciting these rules in the morning, after lunch, and after recess.  Other times, as needed.  

I have found the rules to cover everything.  I may only show the motions for the rule to redirect, keeping things moving at times.  

The five rules lead nicely to the Scoreboard.  I like the scoreboard, too.  After Christmas break, I plan on incorporating the practice cards, too.  But I'll discuss the scoreboard next time!
