? For MsPropel, and Other Ideas
By Elise82

MsPropel, I take it that the kids do not start the day on green, then? That green is for the first level of misbehavior, instead of a level where everything is "A-okay?"

Another way of keeping track of where each
child ends up at the end of the day (seen this in many different classrooms): Copy 5 M-F rectangles on white paper. The child colors in the rectangle at the end of the day according to the color they ended the day on. Teacher checks each before child is allowed to pack up! :rolleyes: On Friday he/she takes it home to get it signed and returns it on Monday. Teacher files them in each child's

folder for an overall record of behavior. (You could also have lines below each rectangle to write in why they had to move to that color.) In this method, students who get on red, automatically have to fill out a form that day and get it signed and brought back the next day.

In some classrooms, they also have rewards at the end of the day/month for staying on green (or in other words - not having to change their card/move their clip at all). Usually, it involves participation in "Fun Friday", with a video or games, etc. Kids who are not eligible must go to another classroom and finish schoolwork/homework, or do other "non-fun" tasks.
