Rules, Rules, Rules

Last year, as I said before, my class rules were a giant fail. This year these are my rules. 

Work hard.

Be nice.

Not too hard to remember, right? I reference them nearly everyday and find that the students understand what I expect. By 4th grade students know when they're not supposed to talk,  not to stand on chairs, not to scream in class, etc. So, this is my way of creating a class motto that they can take with them.
