__Teachers/Students (With) actions__:
Discuss the rules that Kevin followed in his school to help him be safe and learn. Talk about what our students do at our school and in our classroom to be safe and learn--what rules are followed.

__Students (By) actions/activities students will do during lesson__:
Make a class book called "Shelley Explorers Know the Rules" (adapt to your own school's name and mascot). Each student will make a page in the book that depicts an action that we do to follow school and class rules.

Read the class book as a group once it is assembled. Invite an administrator to visit the class and share the book with them. Put book in class library for students to refer to all year.

__Assessment-these may be written, verbal, observations, etc__:
Check the page each student made for the book and make sure they understand the rule they chose and how it helps them to be safe and learn well.
