Class behavior, Clip chart, Voice level chart

In my classroom I expect my students to follow the rules and learn as our mission statement instructs. 

Mission Statement: Our primary mission is to nurture faith, hope, and love in each child’s heart, soul, and mind.  Through spiritual growth, academic excellence, and service to others, parents and teachers become co-creators in revealing the face of Christ in every child.

 Mr. Greenblatt's 5 Classroom Rules:

• Listen when your teacher is talking.
• Be safe, be kind, be honest.
• Follow directions quicky.
• Respect others, respect yourself, respect your school.
• Keep your hands and your feet to yourself.

Clip chart behaviors and behavior logs

 I use a clip chart in my room and I immediately start using it in a positive manner from the beginning of the day. I clip up for good behavior and clip down for bad behavior. Students may get clipped up for:

• Folllowing directions, showing me they are ready for the next subject, working hard, being a role model student, etc.

 
Students may be clipped down for behaviors such as:

• Shouting out repeatedly after multiple warnings and prompts to raise a quiet hand, breaking any of our classroom rules, refusing to complete work, causing a distraction in class to receive attention (to be funny), talking when they are not supposed to be talking, etc.

The colors are as follows:

Star Student (student get ticket to be pulled in a drawing for a prize on Friday)
Great Choices
Good Choices
Ready to Learn! (Everyone starts here each day)
Warning
Teacher's Choice
Parent Contact

If your student is on Ready to Learn! or above, they had a good to fantastic day. If your child is on Warning or below, they made some poor decisions that resulted in consequences.

Warning = 2 to 3 minutes of Recess lost and an explanation on the behavior log or an email, Teacher's choice = 5 to 7 minutes of Recess lost and a phone call home,
Parent Contact = All Recess lost and a phone call home. 

***Students can earn their clip back after being clipped down. Also, not every student will get to "Pink" each day. If your child remained on Green or above, they had a good day.
