In room 20 we adhere to 5 simple rules:
1. Listen when someone is talking.
2. Follow directions quickly.
3. Have a good attitude.
4. Respect others, respect yourself, respect your school.
5. Be safe, be kind, be honest.
Students will earn gold tags for good behavior, great choices, a positive attitude, kind words, particpation, etc. to be used towards Fun Friday centers every week. The student with the most gold tags chooses their center first, followed by the next student, and so on. Students will learn very quickly that earning gold tags has its rewards. Students are motivated to earn as many as they can. I think they will find that it becomes less about Fun Friday and more about becoming the best citizen that they can be. Students will strive to earn more than they did the previous week.
Families may wonder how many gold tags their child should be earning daily. The number is actually not that important. I believe in always looking for the positive. However, you will recieve a weekly certificate that will tell you exactly how many gold tags your child earned, as well as any specific behaviors that they can work on the following week.
