Why are rules so important? Just ask the main characters in the children's book Officer Buckle and Gloria. After a class read aloud, compare and contrast the safety tips mentioned in the story with your classroom rules, noting any similarities and differences. Then pass out this worksheet, asking young learners to describe two class rules, create a new rule, and explain why rules are important. Consider reading this book near the beginning of the school year, using it to further develop and refine rules for the classroom.
