Safety

Our homes are the same. Creating places for items and processes for trash, dishes, and laundry help the house run smoothly. Schedules for meals, bedtimes, and wakeups help with consistency too. Procedures in the home provide security, comfort, and safety.

The same is true in our classrooms. Safety and love go hand in hand. One of the ways to create safety in the classroom is consistency. Teachers who are regularly in attendance and arrive on time provide comfort for students. Rules and discipline that are practiced fairly show consistency. Our speech and words impact the feeling of safety as do our actions or inactions. Having set procedures, routines, and jobs also adds to the safety of a classroom.
