Discipline+Policy

To help students learn how to make responsible choices, I have a classroom discipline plan called, Clipboard Conduct. I have a 4-colored clipboard to which are attached clothespins labeled with student names. Each day the students start out with their clothespin on BLUE . If a student chooses to break a rule, the following steps will be taken: __First time__: Warning __Second time__: Clip is moved to GREEN , student will “stop and think” by sitting away from the group before coming back ready to learn. The student will also miss 5 minutes of recess. __Third time__: Clip is moved to YELLOW , student will fill out a behavior reflection sheet during recess. __Fourth time__: Clip is moved to RED , teacher will call home.

RULES/Teacher expectations:
 * 1) Listen and follow directions the first time they are given.
 * 2)  Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"> No name calling, put downs, poor language, or teasing. (”Fill a bucket” instead! *Ask your student what it means to "fill a bucket.")
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"> Respect students, staff, guests, and property.
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"> Always do your best to learn.
