My Goal:
It is my ultimate goal to make learning and teaching fun for the entire class, in order to meet this goal an effective behavior management plan has to be put into place from the very first day. Below is an explanation of the behavior management plan that will be implemented in my classroom. I have done thorough research to come up with a plan that will be simple to understand and hold the children accountable for their actions; as well as reinforce positive behavior. For more information on implementing positive behavior please check out this great website! You can download EBooks, read testimonials and articles as well as watch videos and the best part is, IT'S FREE!!
Kindergarten Behavior Management Plan:
The Kindergarten teams have worked together to collaborate a behavior management plan that we feel is efficient and appropriate for the kindergarten age group. The kindergartners will be held accountable for learning and portraying the Six Pillars of Character (trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship). In the Kindergarten classroom, the students will learn to take responsibility for their own behavior. In order to maintain a safe environment where the students can learn to be successful, the following behavior management plan will be implemented in the Kindergarten classrooms. It is important that we recognize positive behavior; however, poor choices will have consequences.
Card System:
There will be a chart in the classroom with each student’s name on a pocket. Behind their name (in the pocket) will be five cards; purple, green, yellow, orange, and red. Every student begins the day on green. As the day progresses the student’s card will either remain the same or change depending on the choices made by the student. It will be a consistent system used by all staff members that come in contact with the Kindergarten student that particular day. For those of you who have had students in my class previously, I have added the purple card to focus more on positive reinforcement. I am hoping that cards get changed to purple more than they do yellow, orange or red.
The table below further explains the plan:
Purple
Student has been caught doing something exceptional!
The student will recieve a small treat at the end of the day (sticker or small piece of candy).
The student will earn a stamp on their chart!
Green
Green means “Good Behavior!”
No Warnings! Student is doing great!
The student will earn a stamp on their chart!
Yellow
Yellow means “Warning! Pay more attention to your behavior!”
Verbal Warning
Orange
Orange means the behavior is unacceptable or continuous and the student will incur a consequence.
Loss of privilege, student conferences with teacher, note or phone call to parent.
Red
Red means the behavior is severe or continuous and there is “Action Taken.”
Loss of privilege, student conferences with teacher, phone call to the parent, visit to the office.
Stamp/Sticker Chart:
This is another way to recognize positive behavior choices the students have made. The student will be given a blank chart. Each day the student earns a green or purple card, they will receive a stamp or sticker on their chart. When the chart is full, they may exchange the full chart for a small prize from the classroom treasure chest. Once they redeem their full chart, they will receive a new blank chart.
Character Cards:
Aside from the card system, the student’s will be recognized for showing good character. Small “Character Cards” will be issued to the student with their name on them. After given the card, the student will drop it in a jar. At the end of the week 3 names will be drawn from the jar and the student may choose a prize from the class treasure chest.
Link:
To recognize the class as a whole, I will have a basket of links in the front of my room. Every time I notice the class doing something wonderful, I will have the daily helper add a link. When the link hits the floor I will bring in a special treat. (Popcorn, juice boxes, etc). Every time the link is added we will pause for a "One Second Party".
The poem I use to go along with the link is as follows:
"For all the nice things you do or say I will add another link today,
When the chain and floor do meet, Mrs. Schellman will bring a special treat!"
Donations are always welcomed for link parties and items for the treasure chest! Any unopened candy, unused pencils and erasers, unopened Happy Meal toys are always great items for the treasure chest!!
In addition to what we do in our own classroom, there are ways that the students can earn tickets or rewards for positive behavior school wide!
