Hi
I loved the pictures too. I'll have to bookmark your page for next year. It's great seeing how others start their year and what you have done to settle your class in. I like the way you have used the smiley face too!
I love this idea! It's a great way to show a visual to the children of what they are supposed to be doing without actually using the word "Rules" as the word "Rules" has a stigma attached to it. It tends to make you think more about what you shouldn't do that what you should be doing (even if we do phrase our rules positively) Thanks for the tip! Also, if you would, please check out my giveaway! Very few entries so far…

Good point about how "this is what it looks like" is a more positive motivator than "rules" (although there's probably no avoiding the need to discuss consequences of not cooperating. At some point kids are inevitably going to test what they can get away with. It's a frequent headache for the adults in charge, but it is a normal part of growing up, and may start as early as the early elementary grades. Better to discuss consequences then because the rule-breaking and the consequences tend to be less severe than when the kids get older.)
By the way, as a children's librarian I'd love to see your blog, but could you make it function as a link so I won't have to copy it down and type it manually? If that's not possible I'll still take a look at it when I have a little more time. Thanks.
Love it!

Thanks for reminding me how much students benefit from seeing their actual bodies doing appropriate things. A few years ago I took photos of children doing appropriate things when traveling through our school. We made it into a book and put one in each classroom library. I think I will use your idea and take photos the first week of school and then put up the display for our second week of school as a reminder to all. Thank you!
This is a great idea! I'm going to try this. TThanks!!

I love this idea! I had thought of maybe making videos of the students doing the procedures. Using pictures would be great for students to go back and look if they need a reminder. Thanks for the idea!

I've been meaning to do something similar to this for a while now. You've inspired me! It looks terrific! I love how you made a big wall of all the pictures. I'll have to get on mine this week! 🙂

Great idea… nothing wrong with doing this the third week of school, right? 🙂
I love this! I am totally doing this next year when I go back to first! thanks! 🙂
Would you consider making a kindergarten cover page and the masters for the other pages in a power point? I know I would buy it from your TpT store. I so want to do this and am technologically impaired.
I love all your posts and you are helping me be a better teacher.
