The Unites States has the Bill of Rights, states have their own consitutions, even Room 336 has our class consitution. We worked together to set up these expectations in order to allow everyone in the class to have an opportunity to learn. Ours stated:
1. We will learn in a class that is bright, colorful, organized and comfortable because it is easier to learn in lots of ways. We should also be quiet, calm and use appropriate language so all of us can be hard at work.
2. We will be appreciative, kind, helpful, compassionate classmates who respect others while being calm because it is an important life skill.
3. We will be good students by helping and being role models for others.
4. We will use fidgets and materials appropriately because some students need to use them to focus and learn.
Since we wrote this, our learning evironment has changed greatly. Think about what you need to acheive your academic goals and receive the best possible education. Write down at least five student rights below.
