I've used this poster for preschool classes and K-5th grade classes for many years. We go over it at the beginning of the year and I review it each time we have new children in our group. It has worked very well.
When a day care rented our space in the church one year, I discovered that the teacher of the pre-kindergarten class used it as well. I stopped by one day as she was seating two children in front of it. They had had some sort of a conflict. She asked each to tell in their own words what had happened and what each had done. Then she pointed to the "Our Agreements" poster and asked "What agreement was broken?" They sat and talked and worked things out between them in a very peaceful way. She expressed her appreciation for the clarity and simplicity of the agreements.
I hope this will help you in your class. I copied mine
on shiny photo paper and mounted it on a larger piece of poster board.
Then I laminated it. I've used it for many years and it still looks
great. You certainly don't have to go to that much trouble. A sheet
protector would also keep it tidy.
