Behavior Management System

Classroom Expectations

1. Be respectful of others and their personal property

2. Be safe

3. Turn in your homework

The students helped write our three classroom expectations.

Behavior Management System

    In conjunction with our classroom Frog Bucks,  our classroom will be using a football themed chart to monitor classroom behavior. Each student will be assigned a football with his/her classroom number. Students will be able to move up or down depending on their behavior. Each student will start on the Fifty Yard Line at the beginning of each day. The chart below explains the process.

      If a student shows excellent character throughout the day, he or she can move up the field. At each stop along the way, the students will receive an incentive such as a positive note in their Data Binder, a positive letter, or a positive phone call. Students can also earn privileges in the classroom such as extra computer time, read in the classroom library, lunch with teacher, and even homework passes.

    Each time a student moves down the field (fumble, interception, quarterback sack, and on the bench), he/she will be required to fill out a BEHAVIOR JOURNAL. They will complete the behavior journal in class when they have to move their football. The behavior journal will stay at school as the students will be filling out their behavior slip in their Data Binder each day. I will use this behavior journal when I need to meet with parents. I will also be following the other above consequences.

     If a student fails to turn in an assignment when it is due, they will automatically be sent to fumble.  Completing all assignments on time is EXPECTED in fifth grade. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS to the homework policy. Refer to homework section for consequences and awards for not turning/turning in homework.

 Severe Clause

  The severe clause goes into effect when a student demonstrates severe behaviors such as verbal and/or physical abuse to a fellow student or teacher. If this should happen, the student skips all other levels of warnings and automatically is sent to on the bench. They will then be issued an office referral. The administrator will determine the consequence for the behavior.

 Behavior Rewards

Individual Behavior Rewards: If a student shows excellent character throughout the day, he or she can move up the field. At each stop along the way, the students will receive an incentive such as a positive note in their Data Binder, a positive letter, or a positive phone call. Students can also earn privileges in the classroom such as extra computer time, read in the classroom library, lunch with teacher, and even homework passes.

Group Behavior Rewards: Groups will be able to earn table points throughout the day. At the end of the week, the group with the most table points will be able to lead the class the following week. They will be first to get materials, first to line up, first to lunch, etc. At the end of the 9 weeks, the group with the most table points will earn lunch in the classroom with the teacher.

Forms

**Note: The Baseball forms were created for another teacher in my grade level who is using a baseball theme. I am putting the forms here for teachers to use in their classrooms.**

Ms. Sanchez has graciously allowed me to use her ideas in order to develop my behavior management system. I would like to thank Ms. Sanchez for allowing me to do this. Please click here to be taken to Ms. Sanchez' wonderful website.  I also have a link to her website in the Teacher's Lounge.
