Re: [LM_NET] Target: Library Rules

[Liz Frame <fourefs@SBCGLOBAL.NET>]

When I work with the youngest groups (PreK 4s- kinders), I simplify the rules:
   
  1. Do not hurt myself.
  2. Do not hurt others.
  3. Do not hurt things.
   
  Every child seems to be able to identify what it means to hurt, although they may 
have no idea what it means to respect. With my older students, I remind them of the 
rules, but we expand the word "hurt" to includes respect, and we discuss 
age-appropriate examples.

  This is very similar to my rule. Respect each other, respect the library and the 
books, respect the computers, and above all I tell them with a sly smile on my 
face, respect the librarian.
