This is an introductory lesson about classroom rules and procedures for the first week of school. During the lesson the following occurs:


 * 1) The teacher will read the story Monster in class
 * 2) During the story the teacher pauses and ask questions about appropriate behavior and the students will discuss what is correct and incorrect behavior in class.
 * 3) After the story the students will act out the story and then state ways the monster’s behavior could become positive.
 * 4) Several students will demonstrate the positive behavior.
 * 5) Next, students will receive their own monster picture.
 * 6) They will be asked to illustrate one of the positive behaviors discussed using the monster picture.
 * 7) When finished they will write a sentence describing the positive behavior the monster should have in class.
