Review the elements of a classroom environment listed on the left. Note how Mr. Sinnett's classroom environment supports literacy instruction. In particular, think about the tone and atmosphere in the classroom. How does Mr. Sinnett model respectful and caring conduct in his relationships with students? How does he foster the three R's emphasized by the Collins School -- respect, responsibility, and relationships? What do you think about the three R's? How could you incorporate these into your own classroom?
