Apple Discipline

Our class and school rules for the year.
1. Give Respect.
2. Allow Learning
3. Think of Others
4. Observe Safety.
5. Remember Responsibility
Each child will have a large apple with five small apples. If they follow the rules, they get to keep their small apples. If they keep all their apples all day they will get a chomp ticket at the end of the day. If they keep 20 apples all week they will get a special treat. Students will be rewarded for having a certain number of chomp tickets throughout each six weeks.
The following is what happens if they pull an apple:
1 apple = warning
2 apples = time out/modified recess
3 apples = silent lunch
4 apples = contact parents
5 apples = principal

Calming Down

Each school year one of my first lessons is to talk to students about what to do when they are upset or mad. We read, discuss, and interact with Shubert is a S.T.A.R. After the story, students draw on a star what they can do when they are bug crazy mad to change to caterpillar calm. We use their stars as one of our first boards.
