Are you looking for a system of classroom management that holds students accountable and rewards positive behavior?
Well hello lovers! October has arrived and I am giddy. I am buying candy, decorating, and in general wanting to color with orange, yellow, and brown crayons! Fall makes me happy! Great classroom behavior makes me happy too, thus I have a fun little gimmick for you! So if you have read this blog more than once you know I pretty much live at Target. Look at what they have in the dollar bin! GIANT GOOGLY EYES! Yep! I am screaming at you! GIANT GOOGLY eyes. I have a googly eye problem. I can never have enough. “Eye” might be and eye hoarder. This is a gallon sized bag and it is far too empty for my comfort, but I am waiting until the Oriental Trading Black Friday sale to buy more. No shipping cost. I’m frugal. What can I say? Anyway, so the BIG eyes! Right away I had a plan! This is what I threw up at recess and we were behaving like champions! Then, I got super cute tonight, and made this freebie for you. You don’t need the Target googly eyes to use the freebie. The freebie (shown below) has the eyes on there for you! I did that because I hate going to Target, only to find that they are sold out. Here is what happens. I read an amazing blog post and want to do it too, but whatever they blogged about requires something from the dollar bin at Target. So I get in my car, driving way too fast to get there before they sell out, but my fast driving does not help. They are sold out!!!! IT DRIVES ME CRAZY. So just in case your Target has sold out of those big eyes (or you are reading this in February) just print the free download and you will get the picture below and more goodies too! Woo-Hoo!!! So this baby (above) goes on my whiteboard once I laminate it! Now this picture below is how they earn the 10 happy faces to have a party. I have a daily competition of happy verses sad moments. For example: You talk while I am talking. We are all sad. {Sad Tally Mark}You pick your nose and eat it. We are all sad. {Sad Tally Mark} Recent happy moment: Student whom I shall call “Human Bowling Ball” rammed into me and instead of continuing on her way, she said, “Excuse me. I’m sorry Mrs. Knight.” Progress people. Progress!!! She earned us a happy tally! The whole class thanks each other too, if the situation calls for it. The kid who found the missing glue stick cap just about got a standing ovation when he earned a happy tally. At the end of the day if there are more happy than sad moments they get to earn a happy face! I originally drew mine, but I don’t like my drawings much, so I pulled this together with Krista’s clip art! I am going laminate and really wow the kids with these! After 10 happy days we will have a reward… popcorn and Charlie Brown are in our future! This is my favorite part!!! You know the big bag of eyes??? I poured a few of them into a small container and if “ Eye like what I see” at a certain table group, they get this little trophy of sorts. If your table has the eyes when we line up, you line up first. If your table has it at the end of the day, then you get one of these!!! I simply write their name and reward them by shouting them out in front of their friends. Everyone loves their 15 minutes of fame! I am big into shouting out great behavior. We have a mini assembly at the end of every school day. It takes 30 seconds and it means the world to the kids! It’s a very personal touch and we are all thriving with the little extra bit of love and praise. So enjoy people! I hope you like what you see and follow me. I love my readers, and I love your comments too! So leave me some love because “Eye” like hearing from you all! I hope your classroom behavior is better than ever!!!

I have to share with you something that I absolutely love: The WOW board! This beautiful piece of poster board was introduced to me by my friend and colleague. I used it throughout the year but found it especially helpful near the end of the school year.
I'm linking up with What the Teacher Wants to share the behavior management system that I have in place this year. What a great Linky idea! I'm sure what I do will make you all gasp and question my mental state. Yes, I use a card chart. Yes, the one from Lakeshore (the mere thought!). Yes, I know I could have a cute clip chart from TPT or Pinterest. Yes, I know it's SO 1997! But I like it. And here's why. I have a really hard time moving clips up. I never move them up. I know, I know... positive reinforcement is better. But I never remember and then there is no reinforcement at all! So to combat my senile ways, I created 'Star Club' (Name inspired by my special Awesome Reader friend!). Doesn't it sound exciting? It is! On the first day of school, the students put their 'Star' on their green card. Then I ask very dramatically, "Who wants to be in STAR CLUB?!?!" Well, they all do! Yay! Students that stay on green all day, get to do 'Star Club' at the end of the day. Kids who move to yellow, orange, or red complete a reflection slip for me [yellow] or Oops! slip to be signed by a parent [orange/red]. But STAR CLUB: it lasts about 10-15 minutes, and is for the final minutes of the school day. Basically, it's free choice time. It is kind of an adaptation of Free Activity Time (FAT), only the minutes aren't earned. It's really just a fake natural consequence (I know that is an oxymoron!) that I've created to make the kids stay on task during the day (Unfinished work? Finish before Star Club!) and to make them excited about meeting the classroom expectations. My kids will do ANYTHING to get Star Club. It's amazing! (And to be fair, you could TOTALLY use a clip chart with Star Club.) So that's one part. Kids on green get Star Club. Yay. But they also get a ticket. And if EVERYONE is on green, they get two tickets! With their tickets they can buy cool privileges. Last year, I was inspired by Cara Carroll's Oscar Management and by the book 'The Motivation Breakthrough' and it made me rethink the rewards I was offering my kiddos. Basically the message in 'The Motivation Breakthrough' is that kids, like everyone, are motivated by different types of things (power, autonomy, achievement, etc.). So I decided to align my rewards with those things. Like Cara, I wanted rewards that were privileges. My teammate [who has since moved to Boston and left me ;) ] and I created a catalog with various rewards that appealed to different motivating factors. I am not kidding you - it was amazing and so interesting to see what the kids were motivated by and the kinds of rewards that they chose. Some favorites were: Recognition Rockstar - Principal presents a certificate to the student in front of the class (everyone cheers). Appeals to students motivated by achievement. Be Proud, Read Aloud - Student reads a story to a first grade class or Kinder class. Appeals to students motivated by power. Super Supplies - Student uses special pens and other supplies to complete their work for the day. Appeals to students motivated by autonomy. Sounds fun, right?? And of course, I use table points to practice tally marks and reinforce transitions and on-task behavior. I know, it's MESSY. But you know me by now - I'm not bothered by it! And our whole school does this letter thing: Our kids have specials once a week for two hours straight. They get a score (1-5) for each class (3 classes). For each five, they get a letter. Whatever it spells (usually some type of free time, extra recess, movie) they get! Usually I can't remember what it is. Like now. I have no idea what I'm supposed to spell. Hopefully I figure it out by Thursday! I think it's some kind of recess. "..... Recess" Hmmm. I'm sure it will come to me! So hurry up and go link up with What the Teacher Wants! PS: The first person who can figure out what my board spells gets to pick one item from my TPT shop for free! Leave your comments below!

Today I'm linking up with Delightfully Dedicated to talk about behavior management! Make sure to check out all the other fabulous teachers that have linked up! My behavior management plan grew a lot after my first year of teaching. I learned pretty quickly what worked and what didn't work. This is what I did last year: First and foremost, I used Whole Brain teaching's classroom rules. I read the book before my first year of teaching and fell in LOVE!! Whole brain teaching has 5 class rules: 1. Follow directions quickly. 2. Raise your hand for permission to speak. 3. Raise your hand for permission to leave your seat. 4. Make smart choices! 5. Keep your dear teacher happy! I just love these rules because everything falls under one rule or another. "Keep your dear teacher happy" and "make smart choices" goes a long way! Plus, the rules have fun hand-motions to go along with them and my third graders LOVED THEM! Seriously, I really recommend reading this book if you haven't yet. I used Stephanie from 3rd Grade Thoughts' posters to post the rules in my classroom. Check them out HERE! When I wanted the attention of the whole class, I used the 'Class-Yes' callback from Whole Brain Teaching. It works like a charm every time! I add a little extra incentive to doing the callback right the first time. Because I was departmentalized and had 3 classes, I created a little class competition which my students loved (inspired by Whole Brain Teaching)! If they all responded quickly and quietly, the class got a happy face. If they didn't respond quickly or quietly, the class got a sad face. At the end of the day, I would tally up the class points and record it on our class competition chart. At the end of the month, the class with the most points got a reward (usually extra recess or a homework pass). Below are my charts that I used for class competition! This picture ties into my next aspect of behavior management: Class Dojo! Now, I'm sooooo obsessed with Class Dojo (as were my students). Class Dojo was especially helpful for students who couldn't seem to get it together with just the class rules. Class Dojo is a fun little tool that allows you to create an avatar for each student. If a student is misbehaving, you can give them a negative Dojo point. You can customize the behaviors you want to use! If they are going above and beyond, you can give them a positive Dojo point. I liked to keep my Dojo points on the positive side so I rarely ever gave negatives. Usually all I had to do was say, "I just love the way Sally is sitting so quietly waiting for directions. I'm going to give her a positive Dojo!" This would cause little Johnny who is swinging from the ceiling fan to pop to attention in his chair so that he can get a positive Dojo point, too! The cool thing about Class Dojo is that it gives you a handy chart to track students' behavior. This chart was awesome for RtI meetings and parent conferences! I added a little incentive to getting positive Dojo points in my class. I created a Class Dojo rewards menu so my students could trade their points in every other week. Students could either save their points or trade them in for a treat. I was so impressed with how many of my students saved their points for larger rewards! Teaching responsibility and money-saving skills early! And now, I have a freebie for you!! It's my Class Dojo Rewards poster! You can hang this in your room and allow students to trade in their Class Dojo points! Click the picture below to download it! *******UPDATE******* After many, many requests, I have created an editable version of my popular Class Dojo Rewards Menu! You can find it HERE! Enjoy! Well, there you have it! My behavior management plan in a nutshell! How do you manage behavior in your classroom??
Besides using the "Rockin' Behavior" chart in our classroom, which is individual behavior, we are also using Mr. Potato head as a whole grou...
I was so inspired after reading "Using A Discipline System to Promote Learning", by Marvin Marshall and Kerry Weisner, that I decided to implement the system in my classroom immediately. The idea of the Raise the Responsibility system is to promote internal motivation in both academics and behavior. Rewards and consequences provide external motivation which might modify behavior, but they will not permanently motivate the student to change his/her behavior. Students who continually try to push the limits of their behavior can now assess their own level of responsibility for an action and then reflect on how they can correct it or not repeat it. This morning I introduced my interpretation of the levels of responsibility to my 2nd graders using a wadded up piece of paper (as suggested in the article): This is my 2nd-grade-friendly modified version of the Levels of Responsibility. First I took the paper and threw it up in the air while making a lot of noise and then threw it at a student. They were shocked! This behavior, I explained, was Level 1 behavior - inappropriate, out of control behavior that would lead to negative consequences. Next, I put the paper on the floor and kicked it around for a while. Then I told someone in a bossy tone to pick it up and throw it away. The students easily recognized that this Level 2 behavior involving bossing, bullying, and breaking rules was also not appropriate. For the the next demonstration, I put the paper back on the floor and politely asked a student to pick up the paper and throw it away. The student quickly complied and was pleased when I thanked her. Finally, I put the paper on the floor and while I was going in to more detail about Level 3, a student picked up the paper, without being asked, and handed it to me. This was the perfect segue into Level 4: Appropriate/responsible behavior and doing something just because it's the right thing to do. Throughout the day, I used the chart 3 times with students who were making poor behavior choices. Each time they we able to accurately identify the level of their behavior and I could see that they felt a strong sense of responsibility for either correcting it or not repeating it. During our Daily 5 Read to Self reflection time, we were also able to make a connection. The students demonstrated what a person would look and act like during Read to Self on each level. A student choosing Level 1 or 2 behavior would be talking, getting up and walking around, disturbing other students, or pretending to read. A student choosing Level 3 would be following the rules, but watching to make sure the teacher saw that they were doing a good job. A student choosing to behave at Level 4 would be in "The Zone" and not aware of what was going on around them. Choice: Most students choose to act a certain way, but there are some who know not what they do at times. These are the students who offer the biggest challenge. Impulsive behavior can be very hard for the student to control and, as the teacher, I must learn how to help the student get these impulses under control. Asking the right questions, being positive, offering choices, and encouraging reflection are strategies that will help deal with difficult students. Obviously after just one day I am not an authority on this system, but I was amazed at how quickly and positively the students responded to it. According to Marshall and Weisner, as a teacher I must keep the following things in mind: I must be positive in everything I say. Students do better when they feel good about themselves. Students must know that they always have the freedom to choose their responses - regardless of the situation. Realizing that they have choice, the students will become more self-controlled and responsible. They will feel empowered. I must learn to ask questions that will effectively guide students to reflect and self-evaluate. My goal is to use this system and move away from color change charts, treasure boxes, tickets, points, and all of the other rewards systems I have tried in the past. I will keep you posted on how this system is working out.

Do you struggle with classroom management? Here are four strategies that you can add to your toolkit that will make it just a little bit more effective.
Classroom reward systems can be a game changer, but can also be a “pinterest fail” if not set up correctly. These systems have to include student buy-in and motivate them to want to work towards their targeted behavior goals or classroom expectations.

Teaching methods and strategies vary based on teacher, classroom, and any other factor you can think of. Positive behavior can be encouraged in your classroom community with singing, motivating students and whole group ideas to foster your ideal classroom environment. Positive behavior is what we all desire to see so we can apply the teaching methods and strategies we've worked hard to learn. Heck, we went through four years of college to learn them! It stands to reason that if positive behavior is the 'norm' in a classroom environment, then learning can happen. Positive actions and behavior are often rewarded,
Happy Summer! Welcome back to the Crazy Critter Café! So I've been thinking about how I'd like to use my Class Dojo reward system and here's the latest...Numbered Tubs to match the Class Dojo "point clubs". I used this idea toward the end of the school year and it seemed to work well. Students gave input on what they'd like to have in the tubs (thus, the 2 levels of sweet treats!) My goal was to have a daily Dojo time, but due to our hectic afternoon schedule, that couldn't always be done, so I'd find time during the week for our class Dojo time (or every 2 weeks if I felt more time was needed for students to reach certain Dojo Point Clubs). I had a checklist and whenever we had Dojo time, I would write the point club for each student so I would know which reward tubs they've picked from during that particular Dojo time. At a designated date, all Class Dojo points would reset and students would start over. I bought 2 plastic organizers to help keep the rewards separate. All I have to do when we have Dojo time is snap apart the 5-15 trays and pull out the 20-30 point drawers for easy distribution of rewards! I'm sure there are tons of ways to use Class Dojo in the classroom. I found that starting simple was more effective. I didn't get overwhelmed with keeping up with rewards and trying to grab my iPad to give Dojo points every second of the day. I used it mostly during transition, independent work, and center times. Make it work for you and your class! I'll switch out rewards periodically so students don't get bored with these. I'd love to hear how you use Class Dojo in your class. Please add a comment below! :-) Thanks for stopping by the café!
This is my first time linking up for Spark Student Motivation Saturdays with Joanne from Head Over Heels for Teaching. I LOVE this linky! Teachers can always use some extra ideas up their sleeves of how to keep students motivated. Here are a couple of basic things I use in my classroom: 1. Rainbow Behavior Chart I LOVE this behavior system!! If you haven't seen it before, kids have a clothespin with their name on it that starts on green every day. If students misbehave, they move their clip down. Blue is a warning, and purple and pink have worsening consequences. The misbehaving part of this chart is pretty much like any other behavior system. WHAT I LOVE about this chart is that students can move their clip UP too! When students follow directions, walk quietly in the hall, work in/clean up stations correctly, etc. they move up to yellow, then orange, then red (which is OUTSTANDING!). Kids LOVE to move their clip up, and they feel such a sense of pride when they do. It also keeps the positive environment going because I can move clips up and praise students for good things instead of focusing on those who aren't following directions. It's amazing that when I move up one clip, a hush falls over the crowd and everyone starts thinking about what they need to be doing... =) BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Students' clips move up and down all day. Students who have a rough morning know that they can turn their day back around and move their clip back up. Also, this chart really lacks some cute-cutesiness. If you have ideas of how to pizazz it a little, please let me know! 2. Durski Dollars I just started using these this year. Here's what you need to know: -Yes, that is my face on the dollar (thanks to a co-worker who made it for me) -These dollars encourage RESPONSIBILITY (turning in homework, having school supplies, getting important paperwork filled out, etc). -Friday=Durski Store. Students use $$ to buy candy, little toys (Oriental Trading), or free perks* -Students PAY if they aren't responsible (no pencil, pencil "breaks," no homework, etc.) DISCLAIMER: I was a little worried about embezzlement and fraud, so I handled all money. I put money in their envelopes and I kept the envelopes up high behind my desk. The only times the kids held it was to spend it at the store. This kept the peace very nicely. *I know teachers are on a budget, so here are some ideas I found on pinterest of ways to reward kids that are FREE! http://www.jmeacham.com/images/behavior.community/mp2.png
We should encourage and celebrates each child's successes. There are so many ways to celebrate students. Here are 60 free and cheap rewards.

Individual behavior charts/ behavior punch cards are a great tool for classroom behavior management. Students love being rewarded for positive behavior. Printable daily behavior charts (punch cards) are great for individual positive behavior management in the classroom. This is a great reward system for kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or students at home. These printables are great to use with behavior management incentives: free time, extra recess time, piece of candy, lunch with teacher, etc. These could be incorporated with so many behavior management strategies. You can use them in several different ways to meet the individual needs of the students in your classroom. For example, you can punch the card or put stickers on the cards for positive behavior for the entire day or for the morning and for the afternoon. These can also be used for other student achievements such as homework, grades, books read, etc. This is a printable resource. Print and go! This product is NOT editable. Included in this resource: 2 different cards with 20 punches 2 parent notes about earning 20 punches ( 1 with "he" and 1 with "she") 2 different cards with 10 punches 2 parent notes about earning 10 punches ( 1 with "he" and 1 with "she") Pictures shown are with the behavior punch cards printed on bright colorful paper.
