Answer:

Classroom rules are important to our class community. Firstly, you have to be on time at the beginning of the day and after lunch or recess breaks. Arriving on time shows that you value whatever it is you’re about to take part in. Secondly, always remember to keep your hands and feet to yourself. Students who can keep their hands and feet to themselves are able to demonstrate respect for their teachers and classmates. Other students are more likely to want to associate and be friends with them. Thirdly, listen to the teacher and classmates, and follow directions. And finally, you are not allowed to break all school rules. You have to obey the rules and follow them respectfully.
