REWARDS:
If you had a What a day! You will earn a star. Once you earn 10 stars per
class (reading, math, and homeroom are considered different classes), you
will earn $5 Eagle Dollars. Eagle dollars can be used towards prizes in the
class store.
1. Eagle Dollars (Periodically)
2. Praise (Daily)
3. Notes or phone calls home (Random)
4. Ice Cream Party for the entire class when 15 marbles are earned.
5. Pop Corn and a Movie for the entire class when 30 marbles are earned.
6. Pizza and Music for the entire class when 50 marbles are earned.
CONSEQUENCES:
1st time: Oops! Did I forget?- This could be a verbal or visual reminder that
the student is off task and not following classroom rules. This will not
count against the student as it's typical for children to need a slight
reminder sometimes. As long as they use the reminder wisely and go back to
work. The student will still be allowed to earn a star for the day.
2nd time: I need a break- The student is asked to take a break from a
situation that might be causing him/her some distraction and is affecting
his/her work habits and following of the rules. The student is to sit quietly
in order to re-gain control over the situation. This could be a 10 second
mental reflection, or a 5 minute mental reflection. They take some deep
breaths, think about what they need to be doing, and go back to their work.
No stars will be awarded.
3rd time: Time away to think- If taking a break doesn't work for a child's
self-control, they will be sent to Think Time, which is a desk set up in our
classroom. This is a way for students to reflect on their behavior. Think
Time has two parts. The first part is to complete a Thinking Sheet on what
happened, why they acted the way they did, and what they can do next time to
avoid a recurrence. The second part is to just sit and think for about 3
minutes about the situation a little further, and then they may return to
their table. The reflection will be signed and read by me, and then sent home
to parents so that they are aware of the day's events. No stars will be
awarded.
4th time: A visit to the principal- If none of the above strategies work for
a student, they will be sent down to the office to discuss the situation with
administration. Parents will be contacted as well.
Other consequences are as follows:
If you speak to someone in a disrespectful way, you will be fined $5 the
first time, $10 the second time, and $25 the third time. You will also visit
the principal's office.
"YOU'VE BEEN SPOTTED DOING THE RIGHT THING"
This is an individual reward, which promotes good behavior and allows each
student to be held accountable for his/her own actions. Each student will
earn "Eagle Dollars" throughout the school year which can be used towards
purchasing items from our treasure chest, including eating lunch with me and
a friend! Here are some ways to earn “Eagle Dollars”:
Completing homework each week. ($5)
Having a class job for the week. ($5)
Caught being good or being a kind citizen (following the classroom rules,
helping out a student, being a good friend) ($1)
Completing a Mastery Club Challenge. ($1)
**Please note that I am not responsible for lost Eagle Dollars.**
REWARDS:
Lunch with the teacher and a friend.
Treasure chest.
"CLASSROOM MARBLES"
Our class will also have a marble jar. This reward promotes teamwork and
cooperation amongst the students. At the end of each day, if the entire class
behaved well, followed instructions, walked in line quietly, and was on task,
a marble will be put in the classroom bowl. This reward will also reflect
compliments from other teachers, administration, and visitors to our school
and class.
