Rules, Relationships and Responsibilities

Description

Do you want to teach your rules, responsibilities and relationships unit using a fun, engaging, hands-on approach? This resource is for you!!

Included in this unit:

• 12 lessons to cover all the Ontario curriculum expectations for Heritage and Citizenship – Relationships, Rules and Responsibilities.
• There are 12 lessons but the teaching time may be more than 12 days as many activities are designed to go longer than a class.

Resources include:

• worksheets
• flipbooks
• foldable books
• pocket chart activities
• task cards for class discussions and small group learning
• take-home tasks (with an alternative task if you don’t think take-home tasks will work with your class)
• bulletin board ideas
• class books
• job charts for your classroom
• visual Schedule for your classroom (this falls under the routine section… which is also where you can teach your lessons for time in math)
• discussion questions
• definitions
• student of the week book (with differentiated pages for varying skill levels)
• stick puppets for your class to act out and explain responsibilities and relationships
• sentence starters for the class book

& so much more

I made this unit as I taught this unit. I used my class to test the different activities and they were great feedback to fine-tune this. I hope you enjoy it!
