Reading passage
At school, there are some important rules to remember. In the classroom during class, we must be quiet and listen to the teacher. We must also be quiet and not disturb other people in the library.
In the hallway we should walk carefully. The cafeteria also has rules we must follow when we eat our lunch. We have a responsibility to follow rules because rules help us be fair.
The rules also help us be safe. The principal of the school, teachers and students should all follow the rules to make a happier and safer school.
