Classroom Management

Picture
Kindergarten is a place where we grow and learn.  In a Law and Gospel approach, we discuss how God would have us treat others and work toward empathy, while also offering forgiveness to those in need.  Our classroom rules:

  • We are kind, courteous, and respectful to each other
  • We keep our hands and our feet to ourselves
  • We listen carefully to our teacher and each other
  • We work carefully and neatly to the best of our ability
  • We follow directions
  • We walk quietly in the hallway

God Bless Your Day!
