We've had some escalating behavior concerns, so we decided to focus on the following positive behaviors:
We are trying to set our students up for future academic success as well as to be kind people. We had an assembly with them and gave them contracts to sign, outlining the four behaviors we are looking for.
If students do not follow the behaviors, they earn strikes in the given reward period. They must display positive behavior choices 80% of the time to earn the monthly mystery motivators!
For February:
The students who earned the reward had extra recess time with their teachers (and the art teacher during his prep). The students who didn't earn the reward wrote a behavior reflection with the counselor instead.
Our next reward is on the 12th and then again at the end of the month.
Each reward is different and we have 6 rewards in all for the duration of the school year. Students must earn 4 of the 6 rewards to be invited to the end of year, fifth grade only dance!
We want to show students that by making good choices, being respectful to others and completing your (home)work, you get rewarded in life.
Sometimes, the reward is as awesome as an hour of kickball!
