Classroom
Management
Our
class will work together to develop our
rules. Each child has a clothespin that is clipped to green every morning. If a
student makes a poor choice, he or she moves the pin down to the next color.
Each day the child starts out on green and the colors proceed as follows:
Green:
Great day! Followed all rules!
Yellow:
Warning given. Followed rules after warning.
Orange:
Additional warning. Time out given.
Red:
Out of class time out, reflection filled out and sent home to parents.
If at any time throughout the year, your child moves his or her pin to red, you will receive a reflection sheet to sign and return. Your child will have taken a short break in a buddy classroom to reflect upon his or her choices, plan a better choice for next time, and refocus. Upon re-entering the classroom, he or she will be given the opportunity to apologize to anyone needing an apology. Please sign and return the form as soon as possible so that I know you have been informed. Always feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Also, it is often helpful to have your child explain in his or her words what happened.
