2. Rules,
Discipline, and Rewards: B.Discipline-We will work to be our best every single day! It feels good to follow classroom rules! If Mrs. Laura sees you going above and beyond the classroom rules to make positive choices, you will get to move up on our clip chart! You might also get a special reward like a punch on your Earn/Return Card, piece of candy, or ice cream at snack on Friday! Not only do you have a chance to earn a special "thank you" from Mrs. Laura, but the whole class can earn something special too! On Friday afternoons, we will have "free choice" time in our classroom. During the week, your group will earn free choice minutes for working quietly and making good choices! But... if your group begins making poor choices, you will also lose your minutes!
Classroom Clip Chart
Good choices mean you get to move up! If you make it to the pink section, Outstanding!, you will get to take a happy postcard home to your family! If you move to the yellow level on our clip chart, you will miss ten minutes of recess to think about your choices. Moving to orange means you will miss your whole recess. Moving to red, the Parent Contact section, means you will miss your whole recess to fill out a behavior reflection to take home for mom and dad to see and sign. Sometimes I might send you to talk to our principal, Mr. Yeomans. I hope you will get to see him for happy reasons instead of for bad choices! He and I can choose to deviate from this behavior system if a behavior warrants it.
C.REWARDS— Each day that a student does not have
move down the clip chart, he/she gets a sticker on the
Homework/Behavior Sheet.

We
will be using a clip chart to monitor our choices in our classroom.
The clip chart is divided into 7 colored sections and each day you will
start out on green, in the middle. Good choices will enable
you to move up on the clip chart and poor choices will cause you to move
down.
