A few weeks ago, we studied the Treaty of Waitangi. We looked at the importance of an equal partnership between two parties, where the rights of the two are respected and valued. We believe that this day is an important day for ALL New Zealander's to celebrate.
We used this model as an example for our own classroom treaty. These are the treaty guidelines we came up with:
1. Only one person speaks at a time during paired and whole class learning
2. Be responsible
3. Care for everyone
4. Don't touch or hit others
5. No running or shouting in the classroom
6. Have FUN at school

I like your treaty that you have in your room. I am sure it will be great to work in a classroom that shows those values to each other. I look forward to following your blog. Wlak tall Mr Werder and the great students in Room 14.
