Behavior+Plan

Our classroom behavior plan revolves mostly around positive reinforcement. If students do not follow the rules they will undergo the correct consequences.

We have a few things that are only used in our classroom. We have a marble jar in our classroom that students try to fill to earn a classroom reward. They might get a movie, pajama party, ice-cream party, etc. In order to get marbles in the jar they must be earned by the whole group. They can earn they by all getting quiet when asked, all getting homework done, standing in line correctly, anything that they are ALL doing correctly.

I give out good behavior tickets throughout the day to students who are doing what is expected of them. They put their name or initials on the back of the ticket and place them in a basket on my desk. Every Friday I roll a die and pick that number of tickets out of the basket. They can then either pick out of the "Mystery Reward" container or from our "Prize Box." These tickets can only be earned individually. They can earn tickets for a lot of good behaviors, i.e. getting right to work in the morning, giving nice compliments, helping other students, being polite.

In our classroom we have a yardstick separated into colors. (green, blue, yellow, orange, red, and purple) Every day students have their clothespins start on green.That is where they want their name to stay all day! At the end of each day they record their color in the planners. I record their colors on a personal internet document to keep track. In my classroom I give one warning to a student who is not following directions. If that student is not following directions after that warning they then have to move their clothespin to blue. After that they will move their clothespins to the other colors based on their behavior. Each month students are allowed a certain number of "freebies," or clip moves. Toward the beginning of the year they are allowed more than one clip move. Each month we have a different SWEBS Blowout for all the students who demonstrate appropriate behaviors. This behavior system is used for the whole school.
