As a class we have come up with a list of rules they we as a classroom family will work together to uphold these rules. Kindness and respect to others are key qualities in the classroom to make a productive and welcoming classroom environment.
The behavior system that is used in my classroom is called "warm and fuzzy". Students will receive a fuzzy for positive behavior, kind gestures for others, working hard on classwork, etc.
A fuzzy will be taken when students exhibit poor behavior in the classroom
Every other Friday students are able to trade in their "fuzzies" for extra privileges in the classroom such as taking their shoes off in class, being the line leader, switching seats for the day, and much more
This aims to keep students accountable for their own behavior and help to reinforce positive behavior choices
