BIST rules

On this short week, we are spending some time going over our BIST Behavior plan and all of the rules associated with it. We reviewed our two bottom line rules:

• It is never okay to be hurtful
• It is never okay to be disruptive

Then we went over our Meadow Lane School rules:

• Be Safe
• Be Respectful
• Be Responsible

We talked about examples of being safe, respectful, and responsible and also non-examples of these three things. The children thought about which one of these rules was the hardest for them, and then they went to a part of the room to represent their hardest rule. When paired with others who felt the same way about themselves, they took part in discussions about why this rule was the hardest for them to follow and examples of those things. One person from each group did an overview of what the group talked about in their discussion and now each child has a personal goal that they can work on based on which rule they decided was the hardest for them!
