Most classrooms spend the first days of school building shared expectations. Naming those expectations, and practicing the words for them, helps students hold themselves and each other to the agreement the class made together.
This crossword covers the language of classroom expectations through clues about RESPECT, LISTEN, and SHARE, along with habits that keep a room running smoothly such as HONEST, PATIENT, and EFFORT.
Use this crossword after your class writes its rules or agreements. As students solve each word, ask which class rule it connects to. It reinforces expectations without another lecture on behavior.
