Our Classroom Behavior Plan

Positive Packs
In our classroom, we have Positive Packs, which are used school wide to reward students for positive behavior. Students that make positive choices or are "caught being good" can receive a Positive Pack. Students fill out their name and classroom and turn the positive pack into the office. On certain mornings, Positive Packs are pulled from a jar and the student names are called out to come to the office and receive a reward.

Pearce Pride Cards
Another way to be reward for positive behavior and positive choices is by earning a Pearce Pride Card. Pearce Pride cards can be redeemed on a Pearce Pride Redemption Day for a variety of different items!


The Card System

Here is how it works.  A student is asked to "flip" a card when he/she breaks a classroom rule or makes an undesirable choice.  Each color has a consequence.  I have a chart on the front of my desk that holds different colored cards. On my desk I keep a Behavior Log Notebook that has record keeping sheets to help me document the various behaviors of students that are asked to "flip" a card. I use a 5 color card system- white, green, yellow, orange and red.  Everyone starts on white (this is the cover card).  Then, the colors and consequences are as follows:

  • Green: Warning

  • Yellow: Five minutes away from the group to think and reflect

  • Orange: Time away from the class/group to complete a Behavior Reflection Form- Form will need to be signed by the teacher, student and parents and returned to school the next day

  • Red: Phone call, e-mail or note home and talk with the teacher or principal about your behavior or actions
