positive/behavior management
By Missy

I am taking a new approach to behavior management next year. The kindergarten teachers at our school attended a workshop this past January, sorry I forget what it was called. Anyway the guest speaker suggested the following
idea to have about 5 lily pads and then the student's names would be on frogs. Any time a student or group is caught being good they move their frog to the next lily pad. When they get to the last lily pad they get some form of reward. Some students may take one day to get to the end and some may take a week or more. But her whole idea was focusing on positive reinforment because

so often the negative is reinforced. I really liked this idea and am going to give it a go next school year. Any theme could be used here, for example if you were doing bees insted of lily pads you could use bee hives and bees.
