Our Classroom Rules!

Illustrated by Jay Fleck
From the creators of Our Playground Rules! comes this playful picture book about kindness and community in the classroom—a perfect read for back-to-school!

This picture book plays with the double meaning of "rules" to explore how following a few simple rules of kindness can make schooltime more fun for everyone! 

There are so many reasons why our classroom RULES!

1. We look out for each other.
2. We share ideas and express ourselves!
3. We clean up. We line up. And if we mess up, that's okay. Mistakes are part of learning.

Featuring simple text, gentle humor, and an adorable cast of animal characters, Our Classroom Rules! is the perfect tool to foster empathy, support social-emotional learning, and strengthen a sense of community in the classroom.
