List 3 top rules for a preschool classroom ages 3 and 4 year olds-?

Question

example- No hitting,be nice , no throwing things etc.....

Answer 1

You have to be specific with the rules so they understand them. "Be nice" is not great because some kids don't have a concept for "nice" yet, so they don't exactly know what you're expecting from them.
"Use Your Words" is very important for this age. They are at the point where they have the skills to use words to express themselves instead of whining, acting out, grabbing, etc. As a teacher it's GREAT when the kids use their words - situations go much smoother. So that's my number 1 rule.
"Hands are not for Hitting" is number 2. We go through all the great ways to use our hands (holding hands, hugs, high fives, making art, etc.) and then go through what hands are NOT for (Hitting, pinching, etc.).
"Turn on your Listening Ears" is number 3. It's an interactive way for the kids to be interested in listening. They get to click on their ears, which is fun to do. It helps when they are not listening, too. It's a good way to warn them by saying "Uhoh! Are your listening ears turned on?" Then they have to stop and think about what's happening.
Those are my three... these other answers are also good rules!! Especially the one about going to the bathroom PRONTO! haha.

Answer 2

No hitting (dealing with bullies especially)
Use your words (learning to express feelings)
Share (aware of others)

As a parent of 2 preschoolers, it seems their socialization is the biggest thing I'm concerned about. Are they getting along? Can they learn to cope. I'm not nearly as interested in their intellectual development, although many parents with kids my age are. My brother-in-law (master's in instructional design, whose father was a professor of education as well) keeps reminding me that the research shows that much of the academic skills learned at that early of an age don't translate into better performance later on (they just read sooner in their lives, for instance, rather than being a better reader in grade 3 or 5).
