Behavior Chart

     It must be said, our class has pretty good behavior. The kids' good behavior makes it much easier for me to be able to deliver both the grade one and two curriculum and it allows the kids to have more one on one time with me. The less time I spend correcting behaviour = more time working with students. That being said, while we do have great behaviour we still have classroom rules and spend time practicing these rules. One way I keep the kiddos on track is through our behaviour chart.

     This behaviour chart, in my opinion, is great because 1) students start out in a neutral position “Ready to Learn” and move up or down based on their behaviour throughout the day,  and 2) it gives students an opportunity to redeem themselves…even if they make a bad choice and have to move their clip down, they can move it back up, if they make  good choice later in the day.
       The kids love using the chart and often times have little competitions to see who can get "the highest" on the behaviour chart by the end of the day. Ask your child where their behaviour fell on the chart today!
