Like everywhere else on campus our Gifted Laboratory has rules and here the students worked to help develop them. Before we put our heads together to establish a set of rules we first explored the reasons why rules exist.
We spent some time with the Cougar Expectations:
We explored the P.A.W.S. expectations by using the following graphic organizer and exploring what each would look like, sound like and feel like in our laboratory.
We then participated in a thinking routine entitled Chalk Talk. During a Chalk Talk there is a piece of chart paper with an open ended questions in the center of the group and students are asked to respond to that prompt in written form only. They may respond directly the question or they can respond to another person's thoughts.

On our Chalk Talk questions were:
-Why should rules be followed?
-What would happen if there were no rules?
-Why do we need rules?
Finally, we spent time writing a set of rules for our time in gifted and signed them in agreement.
