*** Each morning, we will recite a character pledge, “ the pledge of

I pledge to be a student for character
I will be worthy of trust
I will be respectful and responsible doing what I must.
I will always act with fairness
I will show that I care. I will be a good citizen and always do my share.
Behavior Plan: We will use the behavior card chart system to track, monitor,
and control classroom behavior in room 8 this year.
Each student will have their own set of cards located on the behavior pocket
chart located in the front of the room. If a student breaks a class rule, he
or she will be asked to pull a card.
GREEN-I am having a great day!
YELLOW-Warning Card; Next card pulled results in a consequence
RED-Time Out and Email or Note home to parents describing student’s
behavior; Time Out will be no longer than 10 minutes and will be given
during class recess time.
ORANGE-Office Referral and Phone Call home; if a student has to pull an
orange card, the student will be sent to see the principal and either the
teacher or principal will contact home
*BEHAVIOR CARDS WILL BE CHANGED AT THE END OF EACH DAY*
Incentives: I like to implement a variety of class incentives throughout the
year. They include positive notes home, student of the week, class recess,
and various class rewards or treats (i.e. popcorn parties. Starting in
September, students will be able to earn Bastoky Bucks to earn various class
rewards or treats. (more info on Bastoky Bucks to come!)
