Respect

We talk about respect and then the students set three "respect" goals for the year: "I will respect myself by -------," I will respect others by ---------------" and "I will respect our (school) environment by ---" They also set 3 other goals of their own choosing (I push at least one academic one!) and all 6 are written down on a white cloud-shaped paper. We attach a different colored streamer to each to make a rainbow. The clouds are then glued onto a rainbow-shaded paper to which the student's picture has been glued. I hang them around the room -- they look great, and the kids like reading each others' goals.
