Expectations and Consequences in Room 12
Consistent expectations and clear consequences are a way to establish a safe and effective learning environment. To this end I have a system of expected behavior and consequences that I use with the students in my class. I find students love clear expectations, and I would like to share that system with you.
Be sure to check out my web page for some photos of outstanding leaders that change week to week!
· Students start at “Ready to Learn” on a clip chart. I give a first friendly reminder using those words. This is O.K. It is a reminder.
· I give a second reminder. This is the last friendly reminder.
· I give a warning. This is not O.K. and the student moves their clip to “Warning”.
· I give a second warning. This behavior is disappointing after two reminders and a warning. The student moves their clip to “Consequence” and misses recess. The student conferences with me at recess and writes a note about what they will do differently next time.
· I give a third warning. This requires the student to move their clip to “Parent Notification” and they miss recess, write a note home which is stamped “please sign and return”, and they miss Fun Friday! If they forget their note, they miss another recess and I call home to be sure the note made it home.
· For additional warnings that same day, a meeting is arranged for that student to chat with the principal. This student misses Fun Friday!
Most times students only need friendly reminders and sometimes a warning. Many students can control themselves before they get a second warning, and an appointment with the principal rarely happens. I am confident that your child can and will learn using friendly reminders if my expectations are clear and consistent! Be prepared you may get a “Caught being Goode” call home for some extra good deed! Or your child may be added to the Hall of Fame as an “Outstanding Leader”! Check out my Web page! If you have any questions or concerns, or these expectations and consequences spark any thoughts, please contact me.

Dear Parents,
I look forward to teaching your child this year! Consistent expectations and clear consequences are a way to establish a safe and effective learning environment. I find students love clear expectations! I want to let you know what to expect from the behavior management system the third grade chose to use this year.
Your child will start on “Ready to Learn” each day. Your child will move his clip up the chart for positive behavior choices or down the chart for negative behavior choices. The best part is students can always choose to make positive choices to move back up the chart! At the beginning of each month a behavior calendar will be sent home to let you know of your child’s choices each day. Colored boxes show where your child’s clip ended for each day. Please sign that you have seen the calendar and return it to school. If you would like to see the calendar daily, your child can keep it in his home/school folder. Just let me know!
You may want to have your own consequences and rewards at home too!
Pink – Outstanding Leader!!! (Above and beyond!)
Purple – Great job!! (Great Choices!)
Blue – Good Job! (Good Choices!)
Green – Ready to learn!
Yellow – Verbal Warning
Orange – Second Warning and Consequence (Poor Choice)
Red – Warned multiple times (Poor choices that disrupted classroom learning, or broke a non-negotiable safety rule)
Students will color a circle on the Behavior Calendar at the end of each day that shows where their clip ended for the day. Any student who receives outstanding leader will receive a special coupon. Five “Outstanding Leader” coupons admit your child into the “Outstanding Leader Hall of Fame!”
If you have any questions about our classroom management system, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your support of our system. I am looking forward to a wonderful year!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Silva
