What is respect?

Over the past few days we have been discussing appropriate third grade behavior and the word respect keeps coming up as the most IMPORTANT rule to follow.  We have read some books and decided to create our classroom "rules" around the word RESPECT.  We have read Do Unto Otters by Laurie Keller and What if Everybody Did That? by Ellen Javernick to help us get ideas for our own classroom/school.  Today, the students worked in pairs to illustrate 7 definitions of respect in a school setting.  I will be adding these to our "Respect is..." bulletin board so that we can follow these "rules" throughout the year.
