| As we all know, positive and good behavior translates to an effective and
productive school day. Because of this, we have reward incentives in Room
18. Hanging in our classroom is a yard stick divided into three different
sections: safe, warning & danger. On this yard stick is a clothespin with
each child's given number. Each day every child in the class begins the day
with their clothespin in the "Safe" section of the yard stick. If they have
to be spoken to, they are then asked to move their clothespin down to
the "Warning" section of the yard stick. If the behavior continues and they
must be spoken to a second time, they are asked to move their
clothespin down once more to the "Danger" section. The third time they are
spoken to, they are to clip their clothespin onto the "To: From:" bucket on
the window sill. At that point they have earned a To: From: *Below you
will find a description of a To: From: The child will be asked to stay in
during recess the next day to complete the To: From:
ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE...those children who are not spoken to during the
day, leave their clothespin where it is and receive a Pete Buck for their
excellent behavior. Pete Bucks can be used to purchase school supplies etc.
in our classroom store which I open weekly or bi-weekly. Pete Bucks are
also given for various other reasons such as: acts of kindness, giving a
helping hand without be asked, having their Weekly Organizer signed daily,
etc. These Pete Bucks are a great incentive, so good that I even use them
at home with my own two children. Happy shopping third graders!
*To: From:
A To: From: is a paper that should tell what the child did wrong, why they
shouldn't behave in such a way, what consequences followed their action and
how they should change their behavior in the future. This should cover one
side of a small yellow lined paper. A To: From: MUST be signed by a parent
or guardian.
