Attach a piece of chart paper to the board, draw a line down the middle, and label one side with No and the other side with Yes. Brainstorm appropriate school and classroom rules and procedures. Stimulate the discussion by providing the children with ideas like walking in the hallway, waiting your turn, and using an inside voice. Write the student's ideas on the chart paper in the Yes column. Next ask the students to identify inappropriate school behaviors and write their ideas under the No column.
Introduce the books, "No David" and "David Goes to School" to the class. Ask students to analyze the pictures and discuss what David did as well as how he could have acted differently. Explain that even though David didn't make good choices at home or in school he was eventually able to make better choices.
Provide students with drawing paper and an assortment of markers, crayons, colored pencils, watercolor paints, or colored chalk. Ask students to choose one of the "Yes David" rules from the chart paper, copy it onto their drawing paper, and create a drawing to illustrate their sentence.
Collect the student's drawings, laminate them, design a book cover, and create a "Yes David" book for your classroom library. Share the book with the students during story time and allow each student to explain their picture and discuss the school rule it represents.
