Commitment
Remind children about the ways we keep our classroom safe ( walking feet, listening ears, gentle hands, big voice, sharing and helping hands ). Remind them that it is the teachers/parents job to keep them safe and their job to help keep everyone safe. Tell children that one way they can keep the classroom safe is to follow the commitments on our poster. Point to each icon and ask people to remind everyone what it means. Continue this discussion all week. Encourage children to select one of the commitments they are willing to follow and celebrate their success.

Say the sentence. Ask students to say the sentence with you. Encourage them to say it again, this time clapping their hands for each syllable. Check that children are clapping syllables and not words.
