Classroom Management= Key to SuccessRespect others, the way you would like to be treated.
Expect rewards for Positive Behavior.
Stay in your seat and always ask first.
Preparation is half the battle.
Expect consequences for Negative Behavior.
Creativity always! Don’t be afraid to try!
To share out loud, RAISE YOUR HAND FIRST.
