School should be a place where students feel safe, respected, and supported in their learning. Every student will be encouraged to take responsibility for their conduct and behavior. The goal of this plan is to foster a positive classroom environment that supports the academic and social-emotional success of all students.
⚠️ Note: This is not an all-inclusive list. Every situation is unique, and flexibility may be needed to address individual needs.
No toys in class – Please keep toys at home to avoid distractions.
Show respect – Treat classmates, teachers, and the environment with kindness.
Follow procedures – Adhere to all classroom routines and instructions.
Practice safety – Always follow safety guidelines inside and outside the classroom.
Listen and follow directions – Give your full attention to your teacher and peers.
Be courteous – Use polite words and actions in all interactions.
Always try your best – Stay positive and focused; success starts with a good attitude!

To encourage positive behavior, students may receive:
Verbal praise
"Daily Star" recognition
Personal notes of encouragement
Students who consistently demonstrate positive behavior can earn:
Stars: Collect 4 stars in a week to shop from the class store
Treasure Box Fridays: Special treats and surprises each Friday
Our class uses Conscious Discipline, a comprehensive approach to social-emotional learning and self-regulation. It helps children develop skills to handle frustration, resolve conflicts, and build positive relationships.
Communication with Parents:
If your child has a challenging day, a note will be sent home explaining what happened and how it was resolved. Please be sure to sign the note and send it back to me.
For ongoing issues, a phone call or face-to-face meeting may be arranged.
1. Positive Time-Out (“Take a Break”)
When a student is overwhelmed or approaching a breakdown, they may be guided to a designated calm-down space in the classroom. This is not a punishment but a time for reflection and self-regulation.
The student may return to class when they feel ready to participate positively.
Example: A student arguing repeatedly after being asked to stop may be directed to the calm space for 1–2 minutes.
2. Loss of Privilege
When classroom rules are broken, students may lose a related privilege.
The consequence will be logical and connected to the behavior.
Example: If a student misuses outdoor equipment, they may be asked to use a different toy for the remainder of recess.
Example: If scissors are used unsafely, the privilege of using them will be removed for the rest of the activity.
If a student refuses warnings more than three times, they will not receive a star that day, and I will send a note home. Please sign and return the note to me the following day.
This Classroom Management Plan is designed to promote accountability, responsibility, and a positive learning atmosphere for all students. Working together—students, teachers, and families—we can ensure a successful and joyful year of growth.
