Courtesy Cooperation Consideration Common Sense I am showing courtesy for

others when I solve disagreements by using the

High5 and by listening to others when they use the High5.

I am showing cooperation when I listen to my teacher and

follow classroom directions.

I am showing consideration when I keep the grounds,

my personal belongings and school belongings tidy.

I am showing common sense when I follow the rules before and after school and when using my

iPad.
