Ratified in a signing ceremony on October 16, 2018:
SHINGOBEE CLASSROOM CONSTITUTION 2018-2019
We, the students and teachers of Shingobee classroom, strive to make the ideal workspace.
We are respectful to the environment, each other, all animals and ourselves. We are safe, and have the freedom to speak, and to learn. We are responsible to listen to each other and to do our work. We are inclusive and welcoming. We do not assume about other people and accept others for who they are.
Our classroom should look like a safe place for everyone, including students, guides, gerbils and bunnies. Our classroom should be neat and tidy at all periods of the day. Our classroom should feel like a respectful place for people to focus on their work. It should also feel like a safe place where we can trust our classmates and feel safe around each other. Our classroom should sound like a working community. It should be quiet enough to hear notebook pages flipping and pencils scribbling.
We believe in peace, curiosity, calmness, learning, and respecting differences. We encourage challenges. We should feel safe to say what we want to say without getting laughed at or judged. We treat people equally. Other people’s success helps us strive further. Respect isn't what we do just in the moment, it’s how we treat each other all the time. No one should feel discriminated against because of their race, gender, religion, sexuality, or outward appearance.
