"Involve the class in setting rules."
Life has rules.  If you go through a red light or a stop sign, you will 
probably get a ticket.  Use this as an explanation as to why a classroom 
needs rules.  It is to make sure that everyone isn't speeding at the same 
time through traffic lights.  It would be a chaotic world, and it would be a 
chaotic classroom.  Involve the class in setting the rules.  Ask them to 
tell you rules needed in the classroom.  Write them down.  Vote on the top 
five and keep them posted.  The more the class is invested, the more likely 
they are to follow the rules.

"Teach children how to express their feelings appropriately."
Most people know how to express joy.  They smile and laugh.  Many know how 
to express love with a caring look, a hug, words like "I love you." 
Emotions children need to learn how to express are anger, fear, and sadness. 
They need to understand that these are normal emotions.  Teach them to use 
their words to express these feelings.


Have a great day and a great week.
