Classroom Management

                            We use a money based system in our classroom.

                            Each student has a "Shape" the following is our

                 numbering system in our planner and the rewards

                 or consequences that go along with our behaviors.

                           Good Job = a 1 in the student planner and earns 

                the student .05

Consequences

                            When a student has to move their shape down it

                 is considered a warning. The label this level carries

                 is "try again," thus students have the opportunity

                 to turn their selves around. This level earns a 2 in

                 the planner and the child does not earn any money

                 for the day.

                              Moving to the next level earns the child a 3 in their

                 planner and a note home. The child needs to pay .05

                 for their poor choices.

                            Further poor choices earn a student a 4 in their

                 planner and/or time-out in another classroom, phone

                 call home with the child, a visit to the assistant

                 principal.

      Rewards for Making Wise Choices

                              A student can move their shape up during the day

                  thus earning a 1+ in their planner. This level

                  "better"earns the student an extra .05 until

                  we introduce dimes into our math curriculum

                  and then this level earns .10.

                               Another level students could move to is "best" and

                   this level earns the student another .05 until the

                   point we introduce .25 into our math curriculum.

                              Each student has the opportunity to shop from

                  the treasure box each Friday. They must earn at

                  least 4 ones in their planner during the week to be

                  able to buy from the treasure box on Friday.
