Behavior Policy and Rewards

Behavior Policy:

     I expect all students to follow all classroom and school rules.  When rules are broken, there have to be consequences.  However, I will also reward good behavior.  Discipline in our classroom is based on the Character Counts program.  The six pillars of character will be taught and reinforced.  If a student makes a bad choice, there will be consequences.  The first time, I will give them a warning and they will move their apple to the first level.  This will result in losing five minutes of recess.  If it happens again, they will move their apple to the second level and lose ten minutes of recess.  The third offense will result in an intervention form.  It is very important for all students to follow the rules.

Rewards: 

     Each student will color an apple tree each week and this must be signed by parents to show how many times he or she had to move their apple during the week.  If no apple is moved during the week, each child will receive a special reward from our class treasure box.  I will also sometimes reward good behavior daily with candy and stickers.
