Rules in School
Nothing is more wonderful than a well-run classroom, where students have internalized the classroom rules, and where those rules "add up" to a logical way to maintain a good learning environment. Another great thing is the positive impact the experience of learning to internalize a good set of rules has on the kids beyond the classroom. This book from the folks at The Responsive Classroom® offers a method of thinking about developing rules, including developing consequences for breaking rules. Enjoy! But no talking!
Click to learn more or to purchase this book.

32 Third Graders and One Class Bunny
Teaching is a human job, and this book is a great one for capturing the day-to-day delights of leading a classroom of little kids through a vital year of their young lives. The fact that the book's author reports, as of press time, presumably, that he had sung "Happy Birthday" to students in his classroom 657 times, tells a lot about the larger impact a teacher has. Meantime, the bite-sized essays in this book are perfect for the hurried teaching life.
