Behavior:
Clip It! Behavior Chart
Our classroom will use a clip chart to monitor behavior. A clip chart is a great tool that allows students to be rewarded for positive behavior, while discouraging negative behavior. Each student has a clothespin, or clip, with his or her name on it. Everyone will start on green at the beginning of each day, and clips can be moved up and down throughout the day based on behavior.
Pink: The Super Student level is reserved for outstanding behavior. A student who reaches this level will earn a special note home, and a star sticker on his/her clip. After three star stickers, clips will be retired to the Hall of Fame and a new clip will be given! (Super student is HARD to reach, so please do not expect your child to come home on pink every day. Super Student is reserved for students who have gone above and beyond.)
Purple: Students can move to the Great Job level for continuing to display good behavior. You should be very proud of your child for reaching this level!
Blue: Students will move to the Good Choices level for showing that they are making the right behavior decisions! Ending the day on this level is great!
Green: Every student will start the day on the Ready to Learn level. As the day goes on, clips can be moved up and down, based on behavior. This level is a good one to be on!
Yellow: A student will be moved to the Think About It level as a warning about his/her behavior, and a reminder to follow the rules.
Orange: Students who continue to display poor behavior can move down to the Teacher’s Choice level. Here, the teacher can decide what action to take. Loss of recess or center time might be an appropriate choice. The student will have to fill out a Stop and Think.
Red: When a student moves to the Parent Contact level, the teacher will notify parents via note or phone call. A visit to the Principal’s office might also be in order. Students on this level may also lose recess time, etc.
Survival Guide:
1. Check your child’s folder EVERY DAY. Clean out any papers.
2. Write down any transportation changes on their behavior/ homework chart.
3. Check your child’s behavior daily. Please initial.
4. Sign and return any papers that need to be signed.
5. Complete homework daily.
6. READ EVERY NIGHT!!!
7. If your child is absent, please send all excuse notes in their homework folder. Do not email excuse notes unless it is an emergency.
8. Make sure you only wear tennis shoes/sneakers on days we have P.E.
9. Please do not allow your child to wear cologne or perfume to school.
10. Always contact me with any questions or concerns.
