A BEHAVIOR PLAN THAT ACTUALLY WORKS



Are you ready for a Behavior plan that actually works?

I have used this plan in my general ed kindergarten classroom with 22 students.  Yes, I said kindergarten!  Print one sheet per student/ per day!

This plan works for students of all ages, and visually helps students work to the best of their ability.  Each hour/period I would tell the students to color in one row of badges.  If I didn’t feel that a student was earning a badge to the best of their ability, I told them how many badges they did not earn for that time frame.  They love keeping track of their behavior!

At the end of the day, students calculated how many badges they earned, and which color badge they earned for the day.  (Yes, my kindergarteners were counting their own badges and adding them.  So, Yay for improving their math skills!!)

Students then knew what their reward would be at the end of the day based on the color badge earned.  Here are the choices I gave, but you can adapt them to your needs and classroom.

If they earned GREEN for the day: They could choose from the Treasure Box, and then bring a puzzle or book to their table OR they could choose to play with the Special Toys that I kept in the closet.

If they earned YELLOW for the day: They could choose a book or a puzzle.

If they earned RED for the day: They did not earn play time.

This plan was so motivating to my class, that they even told me when they felt that they did not earn their badges!  How’s that for HONESTY!?  PERFECT FOR CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT!

What Does the Fox Say?

Who knows what the fox actually says? Maybe you can ask him while making this adorable fox craftivity!  I came up with the idea to create the best bulletin board collaboration!  I had to get rid of my winter bulletin boards because  I was sick of snow and cold and very ready for spring and warm weather.   With warmer weather and spring come baby animals, which includes one of my favorite animals... the fox!  Baby foxes are the cutest ever!   Since March is all about Reading, I mashed a bunch of idea together and came up with some pretty cool bulletin boards. First, I drew Fox in Socks!  Then I had my class create foxes and thought of two rhyming words to put on the fox! I also created a clothesline that is hanging pairs of rhyming socks!  Result = the best bulletin board ever! My kids love this craft year after year! This year I created a different bulletin board!  I have also been moved to 3rd grade and have adapted these foxes

Western Theme Classroom Ideas

Image
Howdy Y'all!  My mom and I both teach kindergarten and each year we switch classroom themes. One of the themes we switch between is the Western theme. Here you will find some ideas we have used over the years! Each time we do it we change it up a little. Enjoy the ideas! Here is our hut/ reading nook that we have transformed into a covered wagon type structure. It took a lot of time and energy to get it perfect. We used long white bendable plastic pipes from Home Depot to make the front and back of the cover. Then we used some extra bamboo sticks to keep the fabric up.  Below are some products we use to make our theme special! Click the thumbnail to take a closer look!
