In the following weeks I will begin a reward system with the students. I will have a "WOW" chart. When the children are "caught" doing something postiive, they will choose a square and write their name. This is similar to a bingo board. I will pick several square numbers each time the board is filled. Those students will win a prize. The more their name appears, the better their chances of winning. I will keep you updated when the system starts. The first few weeks of school require frequent modeling of rules and procedures.
In addition, I will have a classwide behavior incentive. This will allow the entire class to earn a class reward. I also use small daily incentives such as "secret student", and other fun classroom games to keep students on task.
If a student is not following the class rules, and it begins to become a pattern, I will call or email to discuss.
