To reinforce and encourage positive behavior, a point system is
used in our classroom. Points are given for positive behavior.
Examples are:
1) being respectful
2) being on task
3) helping others
4) showing kindness
When 5 points are earned, a student
may design a square for the classroom mosaic. The mosaic is made up of 100
squares. Each time a child earns 5 points, he/she designs another square
for the mosaic. As a child notices more and more squares that he/she has
placed up on the mosaic, it becomes a visual reminder of great behavior.
To discourage inappropriate behavior, students who misbehave may lose recess time, write a letter home, or if needed I will call the parent.
