Stoplight- Each student has a small stoplight on his or her desk. They all start the day off on the "green light". If they need more than one or two reminders to change their behavior or make a better choice, I will quietly go over to them and give their "yellow light" a dot as a reminder to slow down and think about the choice they are making. If the behavior continues or if a student does something unsafe in the classroom, I will put a dot on the "red light" and send an email explaining what happened. Students will also be monitoring how they are doing by filling out a daily behavior chart. Please check this over each night when you sign your child's agenda and speak to them about how they might make a different choice tomorrow ;)
"Pawsitive" Punch Card - Students are earning "punches" on their cards at random intervals throughout the day for getting their agenda signed, appropriate behavior, random acts of kindness, and academic successes. They will have an opportunity to "cash in" their cards for a reward at the end of each month.
Marble Jar - This is a whole class incentive. The class will earn a handful of marbles when they work quietly, follow directions, receive a compliment etc. Individuals can also earn the class marbles for doing something above and beyond. A handful will be lost when rules are not followed. When the jar is full, we will vote as a class on a whole group activity.
