Delving Deep Into Our Essential Agreement

Once the students created our Essential Agreement, we began to delve deeper into what each rule meant.  We read a book to accompany each of the rules, brainstormed how to follow the rules and then had the students come up with poses for pictures to create a podcast to put on our website for their parents to see.  Below is each rule in our Essential Agreement and the pictures the students came up with. 

We agree to: 

1. Respect others.
