Behavior management

1. Behavior
Management
in
Room
10
Our
class
uses
red
color
magnetic
circles
to
help
children
monitor
their
behaviors.
Each
day,
all
children
begin
with
5
red
circles.
If
your
child
is
having
difficulty
following
rules,
he/she
will
lose
1
circle
each
time
he/she
misbehaves
in
the
classroom.
If
his/her
behavior
improves,
he/she
will
get
his/her
red
circle
back.
If
a
child
shows
exceptionally
good
behavior,
he/she
will
earn
yellow
circles.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
the
children
will
receive
the
following:
Each
red
circle
=
5
cents
toy
money
5
red
circles
=
25
cents
5
red
circles
+
1
yellow
circle
=
30
cents
5
red
circles
+
2
yellow
circle
=
35
cents
Every
other
Friday,
the
children
may
use
his/her
toy
money
to
buy
Ms.
Chau
coupon,
which
they
can
exchange
for
a
privilege
or
some
goodies
from
teacher.
Each
day,
ask
your
child
how
many
circles
he
or
she
has
earned—look
for
the
coupons
or
prize
your
child
wins!
Other
than
the
individual
reward
system,
there
are
several
other
reward
systems
in
our
class:
• Table
points
for
small
group
collaboration
• Marble
jar
for
whole
class
reward
Consequences
for
Unacceptable
Behaviors
Occasionally
children
have
difficulty
following
class
and
school
rules.
At
these
times,
I
will
try
to
redirect
the
child’s
behavior
through
eye
contact,
verbal
warning,
removing
the
red
circles,
or
quiet
reminders.
If
this
does
not
help
to
improve
the
child’s
behavior,
one
or
more
of
the
following
consequences
will
be
used:
1. Time-­‐out
at
the
“Quiet
Chair”
This
gives
the
child
time
to
calm
down
and
get
ready
to
rejoin
the
class
activity.
If
the
behavior
occurs
outside
of
the
classroom
(hallway,
playground,
cafeteria,
etc.)
variations
of
this
consequence
will
be
used.
2. Time-­‐out
in
another
teacher’s
classroom
This
will
be
used
if
the
unacceptable
behavior
is
not
improved
by
a
time-­‐out
in
our
classroom.
3. Note,
phone
call
home,
or
conference
with
parent
after
school.
This
might
include
behavior
checklists
completed
daily.
4. Loss
of
privilege
or
copy
work
This
might
include
recess
time
or
special
activities.
If
there
is
no
privilege
(outside
of
the
classroom,
field
trip
etc.)
to
take
away,
assign
copy
work
may
apply.
5. Office
Referral
This
can
be
used
for
behaviors
that
disrupt
instruction
or
threaten
others
(hitting,
kicking,
biting,
etc.).
This
list
is
an
overview
of
my
discipline
policy.
Other
consequences
may
be
used
if
they
are
appropriate
for
the
behavior.
Please
refer
to
the
Student
Handbook
for
policies
regarding
suspension
and
expulsion.
Art,
Music
or
computer
teachers
may
have
different
policies
for
managing
unacceptable
behaviors.
