Classroom Rules

I spend time each week in a Kindergarten class. The rules are pretty simple, I think in part due to the students age, and they are also new to the school environment.  I really like how the rules are presented to the class. About two or three weeks in to class they have "Mrs. Adam's Boot Camp". For a whole week she over-emphasizes the rules and tries to focus on the importance of keeping the rules. she play the role of drill sargent and just has a fun time with the students while teaching them some valuable lessons. At the end of the week they have a graduation ceremony and everyone gets dog tags and a shirt that says 'I Survived Mrs. Adams' Boot Camp'.  

At the beginning of this semester she had a student teacher while I was there.  The student teacher had a very difficult time keeping the students in line and controlled.  After the student teacher left the class went through boot camp again.  That was her way of reminding the children of the rules.
