Classroom Management Plan

Classroom Management Plan

My main goal in the classroom is to redirect misbehavior and to teach and reinforce appropriate behavior. I want to teach the children to manage their own behavior and actions. I will keep you informed of your child’s behavior in their daily folder. Please sign or initial everyday their folder daily. The expectations and consequences are as follows:

EXPECTATIONS:

1.       Follows Directions

2.       Controls Voice

3.       Display Self-Control

4.       Respects others and property

5.       Listens and Pays Attention

6.       Completes Class work

CONSEQUENCES:

1.       Verbal warning

2.       Color change to yellow

3.       Color change to red 

4.       Time out or loss of recess

*Violent or extreme behaviors will be addressed on an individual basis between the student, parent, teacher, and principal.

Each child will have a clothespin with their name on it on our behavior chart. We will have four different colors for behavior.

EXPLANATION OF COLORS:

Purple- If your child has a purple box and or sticker in his/her folder that means they have made an excellent effort to be a great student. They will not start at purple, but will have an opportunity to move their pin to purple for making super choices. If they get to put their pin on purple, they will get a prize from the treasure box! This encourages the students to go above and beyond in our classroom.

Green- Everybody starts on green. It means they are ready to learn. If they have a green box, that means they had a good day! 

Yellow- This means your child needs to make better choices. If they get to yellow, they will have an opportunity to move back to green if they can fix their choices. This again reinforces positive behavior. If they cannot fix it, they will stay at yellow or move to red. 

Red- Red means that your child was given several warnings, and still did not make better choices. If they get to red, there will not be an opportunity to move back up, since by this time they have been given many opportunities to do better.

It is in your child’s best interest that we work together with regard to his/her education, and I encourage you to talk with your children every day and discuss their behavior, whether it is great or needs some improvement. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me!

Thank you for your support. I’m looking forward to a great school year!
