Behavior System
LUCKY LINKS
After a grade level meeting last Thursday, I decided to
change our behavior management system in order to be consistent with all of
second grade. I will give each of the kids a container with 10 links in it.
They will keep this in the basket under their chair. They can earn more links,
but they can also get them taken away. This would be like getting a verbal
warning for being off task or not following directions. Students can earn links
by doing good deeds or for positive behavior.
Each week, students will start out with 10 links. If they
have 10 links by the end of the week, they will turn them in for a jewel. They
will collect these jewels all quarter. Students only earn jewels if they have
10 links by each Friday. Some children will have extra links, so they will be
able to keep those links and receive and receive 10 more the next Monday.
Towards the end of the quarter, we will have a shopping day.
Students will be able to purchase prize box items with jewels or purchase other
rewards with jewels (like go barefoot in class, wear sunglasses for a day,
etc.) There will be a price list as some prize box items will be worth more
than one jewel. Some rewards will only cost one jewel. I would greatly
appreciate any prize box items you would like to donate. You can ask your child
for ideas of things they would enjoy buying with their jewels.
Each day your child will bring home an assignment sheet for
homework. At the bottom of the sheet is a section that tells how many links
your child has at the end of the day. If they lost a link, I will write why on
the chart. Please sign and return this sheet every day in the daily folder.
Remember, the students will always start fresh on Monday with 10 links.
If you have any questions about this system, please email or
write me a note. I am trying to teach and develop basic economic skills
(earning and losing).
