Mrs. Knighton's Discipline Procedures

 

It is my belief that encouraging and inspiring children to always strive to do their best is the best way to help children succeed in all aspects of their lives. In order for children to reach their full potential it is essential to provide the highest quality of educational experiences as well as maximize the amount of learning that can take place in our classroom.  In order to achieve this quality of learning, the student’s behavior must not interfere with this process.  If the behavior is not able to be kept under control then I manage the behavior in the classroom I will engage in positive reinforcement which means that I will point out and publicly announce to all students’ outstanding behavior that I see occurring in the classroom at any time during the course of each school day.    

that may occur in our classroom each student will have a clothes pin with their names on them and these clothes pins will be placed on a red/traffic light.  If the student breaks the rules, first their will be a verbal warning given to the student that will give them a choice they can either get back on task or the next offense will

Rules:

1.    RESPECT

The children and I have discussed this word and have reached an understanding as to what this word means.  We decided, as a class, that if we all treated each other with respect then our classroom would be a wonderful community of learners and friends. 

Consequences

1st Offense- verbal warning and redirection

2nd Offense- The Student will be required to pull their clothes pin to yellow on the red light.  If the student pulls their clip to yellow this will result in the loss of five minutes of recess time.   

3rd Offense- The student will have to pull their clothes pin to the red light.  If the student pulls their clip to red once during the course of the week, the student will not be allowed to visit the treasure chest on Friday.
