Behavior

I have decided to continue to use a behavior chart in my classroom. This year,  my chart will go with my ocean theme. I created this on my computer using pictures from the web.

  • Smooth Sailing (Green)- Great day!
  • Rough Waters (Yellow)- Warning
  • Stormy Weather (Orange)- Loss of Privilege 
  • Shipwrecked! (Red)- Note or call home

I'll get around to laminating and assembling on posterboard. I use a number system in my classroom, so instead of having the students' name on the clothespin, I have their number. They are renovating my classroom so I probably won't be able to get into it until the end of this month or early August. :( 
Also  there is a behavior contract that parents and students must sign. In addition, in the Parent Welcome letter, I explain more about classroom rules and my system. 
For incentives, I usually do random prizes or snacks for students who stayed on green or yellow, Homeworkopoly, and Caught Being Good.
