Behavior Plan
Discipline Plan:
The emphasis in 4th grade is to BE POSITIVE! I encourage good behavior constantly and look forward to spending each and every day with these bright and wonderful children. The children are given lots of praise and positive reinforcement for following our guidelines. The expectations are simple and fair. I believe in using a positive behavior plan system to manage my classroom.
The plan is as follows:
Positive Reinforcement
Marble Jar- When the class does something well like lining up quietly, I will reward them with a marble in the marble jar. Once the jar is full the students will get to vote on a fun activity for the class to enjoy.
Table Points- When a whole team is listening and following directions, or goes above and beyond, they earn a team point. First team to 5 picks a coupon from the treasure box and receives the special treat of being the "Team of the Week" for the following week.
Clip Chart- The Behavior Chart Goes as Follows:
Each child will move his/her clip up for good behaviors and down for poor choices. Then, at the end of the day, each child will fill out a reflection form by coloring in the color they are on at the end and filling out a survey about their behavior. The students must get a parent to sign the reflection form every night and then return it the next day. The forms will go home and return in their take home folder.
Consequences (Reminders) to help students stay on track and monitor their behavior:
***Each student is given chances throughout the day to move his/her pin back up. ***
1. Verbal Reminder or visual cues
2. The student will move his/her clip down to purple on the clip chart. This color is the warning color…“Slow down and think about your behaviors.” If a student has his/her pin on this color when recess begins, s/he will owe five minutes of recess. I help remind the child of ways s/he can move his/her pin back up throughout the day and offer lots of modeling.
3. The student will move his/her clip to the pink on the clip chart. Once the child gets to this color either the student or the teacher will contact parents via a phone call, email or note home. The student will usually owe their entire afternoon recess to reflect about behaviors.
4. The student will go to think time to reflect about their behaviors. Parents will be contacted by the teacher.
Actions that are an immediate “Pink”:
· Hitting/kicking/biting
· Not telling the truth/cheating
· Stealing
