Classroom community is one of the most vital parts of a classroom.
At the beginning of the year, it is so valuable to spend time establishing a community and getting to know your students.
I spend *almost* as much time building my community as I do establishing routines.
I say almost, because sometimes these two overlap within each other.
Teaching procedures, setting expectations, and establishing rules for the classroom also ties in with taking care of and promoting a positive classroom community.
Ellen Javernick's use of what could be construed as a small bending of rules to establish her purpose is so relatable to our kiddos.
Basically when a little boy bends rules and does not follow expectations, people around him pose the question, "What if Everybody Did That?"
