When you want to make classroom rules fun, it’s time to cue the cute puppies! In honor of National Puppy Day (March 23), we created these classroom rules posters featuring some of the most lovable and huggable dogs and puppies. We made them all available as PDFs, so you can print them out and use them anywhere in your school or classroom. Just click on the download now link under each poster. They will look great on a 8.5×11 sheet. Enjoy!
