I have very high expectations of my students because I believe they are all able to be successful in their own way and ability. I believe in giving choice so that they are able to take ownership of every decision that is being made in the classroom. I have two main "rules" in which we follow:
1. Respect other's right to learn
2. Treat others the way you want to be treated
I am very consistent and treat all of my students the same way. We have a lot of fun but accomplish many things throughout our day. I give a lot of 2 minute breaks throughout the day to keep us focused and on task. This is my classroom in a nutshell!!
I think your classroom sounds like a good place to be!
