I love this!! Using this as classroom norms instead of classroom rules is great way to instill this within a class! Originally pinned by Laurie Newbigging

Too true, too true!

I appreciate the sentiment, but I don’t know how much I agree with this statement. Specifically about income. “Success” in this context is not a measure of intelligence or potential, but a measure of the quantity and quality of assignments turned in, the ability to be consistently present in class, the time to devote to the school community, etc.

A fabulous person standing in the front of the classroom can earn a student’s respect, can encourage that student to the best of his/her ability, can accept that student for all that is offered, but it can’t help a student not fall asleep in class, because her family has to share a noisy apartment with far too many people. It can’t help a student find time to do his homework because his parents work all hours and he’s responsible for his younger siblings. Their homework takes precedence [and everything else].

I love rich print posters…I am always changing them, this is an oldie but a goodie, just a classic favorite of mine. It can be used for many grades. When we do our independent reading we always grab a post-it. :-)
