Show Me Five

At school your children are learning about how to do well in school and are practicing 5 classroom rules. 

You can help support your child’s learning by commenting and praising them when you notice them following these rules at home. 

Ask your child to “Show You Five” (hold up your hand). See how many they remember! 

Ask them to show you how they follow these rules, one at a time. 

The Show Me Five Rules are: 

Listening Ears: (To remind children to quietly listen and pay attention to the speaker.) Praise them at home when they are using their listening ears when others are talking. 

Eyes on Teacher: (To remind children to look at the teacher and pay attention.) Praise children at home when they are looking at you with their listening eyes. 

Keep Hands to Self: (To remind children to keep their hands to themselves.) Praise your child when s/he keeps her hands to own body. 

Use Walking Feet: (Reminds children about walking slowly – and saving running feet for outside!) Praise your children for using their walking feet inside the house. 

Use Inside Voice: (To remind children to learn to talk quietly and not disturb others.) Praise your children for using polite and quiet inside voices.
