I thought that this would be a great class project to do together at the beginning of the school year.  Kids can have input- what are some ways that we can work independently?  In partners?  Having the arrow added is a great idea as it helps kids to understand expectations as soon as they walk into the classroom.  This could also be adapted to other behaviour and classroom management charts- what do we do if we finish early?  How can we show our learning?

Food for thought... how do you set up behaviour expectations in your classroom?
