Class Store
I love using our Class Store to encourage great choices! My students earn Dojo points for good behavior and for doing their jobs, showing them that their actions truly matter. I let them shop with their points twice during the school year.
If you'd like to donate any items for my store, please just ensure they are appropriate for school and first graders!
Some ways students earn tickets:
- go the extra mile to help a student or teacher in need.
- are the first or second to do what I ask.
- are extra polite and respectful.
- do outstanding work.
- completing their classroom job
🌸 Bloom Tickets & Student Responsibility
To help my first graders build daily responsibility and positive habits, I use a Bloom Ticket system in my classroom!
Students earn Bloom Tickets throughout the week by taking ownership of their learning and caring for my classroom space, including:
Completing and returning weekly homework packets
Turning in their nightly reading logs
Keeping track of their supplies (like crayons and folders)
How It Works:
Friday Drawings: Every Friday, students write their names on their earned Bloom Tickets and place them into my weekly drawing bin for a chance to spin my Prize Wheel!
Privilege Rewards: Winners earn fun privilege coupons—like having lunch with a friend, wearing a special hat, or using my special pens for the day.
Building Long-Term Habits: This weekly system keeps excitement high while working alongside my Class Store (which opens twice a year for larger point redemptions!).
Thank you for supporting your child at home by checking their homework packets and reading logs each night. Together, we can help their habits bloom!
🧩 Classroom Bingo & Teamwork
To build a strong classroom community and encourage positive behavior, I use a Classroom Bingo board as one of my management strategies!
This system focuses on working together as a team toward a shared goal:
Daily Reflection: At the end of each day, my students and I reflect on our behavior. If we were kind to one another, listened to directions the first time, and showed overall responsibility, the class earns a bingo piece!
Bonus Pieces: Students can earn extra bingo pieces for going above and beyond—like executing a fire drill perfectly, being great listeners during an assembly, or earning a compliment from a specials teacher while away from my room.
Class Rewards: Once we fill a line on our bingo board, the whole class earns a fun, collective reward to celebrate their hard work!
🚦 Consequences & Behavior Management
Warning
If a student displays off-task or inappropriate behavior, I will first provide a verbal warning to give them a chance to correct their choice.
Loss of a Privilege
If the behavior continues, the student will lose a privilege. Depending on the situation, this may be something small, such as losing a Bloom Ticket or a bit larger, such as losing a portion of free time, recess, or another preferred activity.
"Think About It" Sheet & Parent Contact
If the behavior persists, I will contact parents and have the student complete a "Think About It" reflection sheet. On this sheet, the student writes what happened, why it wasn't a good choice, and what they can do differently next time. They also help select their own consequence, which gives them ownership over their actions and makes the learning moment more meaningful. I sign this paper, the student signs it, and then it is sent home for you to review and sign.
Office Referral
Any behavior that is severe, unsafe, or significantly disrupts learning will result in an immediate referral to the principal's office. I hold a safe, supportive learning environment in high regard, and unsafe behavior or actions that prevent others from learning will not be tolerated.
