Our Rules to Live By

Do you have any rules that you think we should all live our life by? In the book Wonder, August's English teacher, Mr. Browne, presented the students with a new precept each month. At the conclusion of our novel study, students shared their own precepts that they believe are important in life. They could make up their own or use a quote from someone famous/someone they know, as long as they gave credit. Here are our rules to live by:
