introducing scholarly behavior

in my kindergarten class i used students modeling good participation as an example of what they need to strive for and i explain the benefits they will get- learn more, enjoy stories, more fun at school, etc. i explained how they can participate in the lessons better by constantly listening, watching, speaking.  that they need to be willing to take chances and not worry or fear if they do not get the right response- the important thing is for them to keep trying and persevere.  i plan to make a copy of the scholary behavior list, enlarge it and make it visible for me as a reminder of what kind of expectations i need to have from them.
