Classroom Rules and consequences
AWe are about to embark on a new and exciting school year! This year your student will be participating in a classroom economy as a part of our behavior management system. Everyone knows that students learn through experience. To understand the economic forces that affect their lives, students have to experience those forces first-hand. Participation in a classroom economy is an experience that students will remember long after they have left the classroom. Throughout the school year students will earn valuable life skills such as: job applications, how to write a check, keeping a check register and being responsible with money, the exchange of money for goods and services, supply and demand, and so much more!
Students will be rewarded for hard work and good character by receiving credits throughout the day and fined for poor choices by receiving debits throughout the day. For every debit that the student receives, there will be a consequence associated with it. All students will have a classroom job to perform and will be paid in classroom money. They may spend the money in a class store. Below is a list of our classroom rules that we came up with as a class, a list of how to earn debits and credits, as well as consequences to go with each debit.
Our Classroom Rules:
1.Listen and follow direction the first time they are given.
2.Respect yourself, objects, your classmates, and your teacher.
3.Raise your hand before talking or leaving your seat.
4.Keep hands, feet, and object to yourself.

Please log in to class dojo daily to check your child's behavior. It is important to talk with them about any debits they may have had and come up with solutions to help them learn from their mistakes for the following day. On the first week of school, I sent home a code so that both you and your child could log on and check your child's Dojo Report. Please take advantage of this easy, paper free option! Let me know if you have difficulty logging on. :)
Marble Jars
As a whole class behavior management system, the students earn marbles for working together as a team. If they fill their jar they get a pizza party on me. If I fill mine, the entire class owes me a silent recess.
