Each child has a magnet on the clip chart, with his/her number. Students start each day on green or Leaders in Learning. Students have the chance to move their clip up or down throughout the day depending upon the choices that they make. If a clip is moved up, it can be moved down if poor choices are being made, and visa versa, if the clip is moved down, it can be moved up if their choices improve. At the end of each day, the clip chart color is recorded for record keeping. Kindergarten will use a calendar chart.
Silver – Soaring Eagles – Student clipped up for showing excellent behavior and making excellent choices. This is an excellent level to end the day on.
Green – Leaders in Learning – Student begins the day here. The student is showing good behavior and making good choices. This is a great level to end the day on.
Yellow – Fluttering – Student clipped down as a warning of making a poor choice. If your child clips down, please discuss the behavior with them.
Orange – Far from the Flock – Students clipped down twice because of a poor choice. The teacher and student will decide an acceptable consequence for this action.
Red – Grounded – Students that move to red made very poor choices. Teacher will decide on an appropriate consequence for this action.
Blue – Parent Contact – Students that had to move to blue have had many chances to make better choices but continues to make poor choices. Teacher and parent will decide on an appropriate consequence for this action.
I love the idea of the behavior board! I may want to apply this method at home as well!
