In a small village stood a cheerful little school, and in that school Miss Mouse taught twenty little mice.Everyone who visited was amazed: “What a kind, clever and helpful class! How do you do it?” One day Miss Mouse wondered the same. She looked around the circle and asked: “Dear little mice, how is it that you take such good care of yourselves, treat each other so kindly, and learn so well?” The first mouse raised its paw: “That’s because you always say: Eat healthy!” The second mouse added: “And also: Exercise every day!” The third mouse giggled: “Don’t forget: Take time to relax!” And so it went on. One by one, the mice repeated what Miss Mouse always said, until all 20 rules for living and learning were named. Miss Mouse laughed: “That’s right! You have listened so well. You know what? I will write them down so we never forget.”And from that day on, the 20 Little Big Tips hung on the classroom wall for everyone to see. Whoever entered could read why the class of Miss Mouse was such a happy place:because the little mice cared for themselves and for each other.

Food for thought
The story of Miss Mouse reminds us that a good classroom atmosphere doesn’t just happen it grows from kindness, clear rules, and daily habits. Small actions, like helping, listening, or staying positive, make a big difference.
