I believe in using positive reinforcement in my class. Children should be praised for positive behavior and taught acceptable behavior if they exhibit negative behavior. In my class, we use brag tags. I look for children making good choices, and then I brag on them. Each student will collect brag tags on their backpack. Once they earn 12 brag tags, they may trade them for something out of the treasure box. We have 6 rules in our classroom that we review daily.
There are 6 rules:
1. Listen while others are talking.
2. Follow directions quickly.
3. Raise your hand to talk.
4. Make smart choices.
5. Be Safe, Be Kind
6. Diamond rule-Keep your eye on the target.
