Our Class Values
Our class stands for three important things: being respectful, responsible, and reputable. Let’s find out what these mean!
What is Respect?
Respect means treating classmates, teachers, and our classroom kindly. We listen when others are speaking and use polite words.
What is Responsibility?
Responsibility is making good choices. We look after our things, finish our work and help each other.
What is Being Reputable?
Being reputable means acting in a way people trust and admire. We keep our promises and always do our best.
Share one way you will be respectful, responsible or reputable this year. Let’s make our classroom a safe, happy and positive place for everyone!
