If you do well or win, do not brag. If you lose, do not show anger.

Always say thank you when someone gives you something.

Surprise others by performing random acts of kindness.

Do not ask for rewards. Homework will be turned in each

Subject transitions will be swift, quiet, and orderly.

Fourth Grade Essential 20

Be as organized as possible. When work is assigned, do not moan

or complain. Obey rules with substitutes the same

as you do with me. Do not save seats in the lunchroom. When in line, keep hands to yourself

and move quietly. Be positive and enjoy life! Accept that you will make mistakes.

Learn from them and move on. No matter what, be HONEST! Carpe Diem! Seize the Day! Be the very best person you can be.
