One thing I promised to do this year was take my time teaching behavior expectations and procedures! While I would love to spend a solid 3 weeks on expectations and procedures, I have curriculum to teach, so how do I find a balance? I am hoping to find that balance with my new product called "Back to School: Radical Rules." These 5 lessons teach essential behavior expectations while addressing social studies and ELA standards. Say what?? Yup! In this mini unit, there is one weeks worth of lesson plans that teaches classroom rules and aligns with social studies and writing standards. The anchor charts in the photos were made to help visualize the whole lesson. Although, I will remake with my kiddos so it will be more authentic and meaningful. Let's go on a picture walk to see what's included. 

 Lesson 1: Ask students why do we have rules and record their answers. The goal is to lead them to those 3 reasons. After reading the mentor text recommended, as a class draft ideas about possible class rules. 

Lesson 2: Three reasons why we have rules class sort. 

 Lesson 3: Mentor text and writing prompt to match. 

Lesson 4: Mentor text and writing prompt to match.

 Lesson 5: Teaching community laws through a mentor text and creating a class book.
