Rewards and Consequences
|
|
- I will always respect everyone around me. - Respect comes in many forms. Our class has discussed how we can show respect with our actions and words.
- I will always listen to the teacher when he or she is speaking. - If we are listening, we are learning.
- I will take care of my classroom and everything in it. - By taking care of things, our responsibility will keep things available and in good condition for others to use, too.
- I must always do my best! - 100% effort at all times!
- I will learn! - It is the responsibility of each student to listen, practice, ask for help, and get the work done. We are here to learn. Let's do it!
Discipline Policy
Our class uses the "behavior card" system. Each child is given 5 color cards - green, blue, yellow, orange, and red. If the student breaks a rule, is disruptive or defiant, s/he will be asked to change a card.
Green - Great character!
Blue - a warning
Yellow - consequence, laps at recess
Orange - consequence, behavior think sheet, time away from activity, laps at recess
Red - lose a recess and write up a behavior report describing what they did, what rule was broken, etc. These will be taken home and signed by the parent. The student will not get a recess back until that report is brought in signed.
If the behavior persists, a phone call will be made to the parents. A referral may also be issued and a parent conference scheduled to discuss the student's behavior.
There are many rewards for following the rules:
- Gold Slips - Good behavior, outstanding character, displays of responsibility and kindness are all ways to earn a Gold Slip. When a student earns 5 Gold Slips, he or she may visit the Lockheed Runway for a 10-minute visit - games, computer, videos, toys, etc. are all available for some fun reward time.
- Chance Tickets - These are tickets given to the students for turning in homework on time, listening in class, being on task, having clean desks, class participation, etc. When a student collects 5 tickets, he or she may trade them in for a Gold Slip.
- Treasure Box - If a student stays on his or her Green card all week, he or she will have an opportunity to pick a treasure from the class treasure box.
- Special Activities - The less time we spend on discipline, the more time we have for Art, Music, little parties and treats, etc.
- A Happy Teacher - A well-behaved class makes a happy teacher. A happy teacher makes a happy class!
If you (the parent) have any questions, please feel free to contact me before or after school.
