Classroom Management


Tiered “Take a Break” System

1.Take a Break: student comes back on their own. (minor disruptions)
2.Take a Break- Teacher invites student back: If behavior continues, student takes a 2nd break and completes reflection. Student will conference with teacher before returning to seat.
3.Buddy Room: Behavior has continued and is distracting other students. Student will go to a buddy classroom to complete a Fix- it.

Classroom Marble Jar

Throughout the day, the students transition to several classes such as PE, Music, Art, and Latin. During these times, the class can earn up to 5 marbles for our jar based on whole class behavior and participation. The class can also earn marbles for compliments by other adults in the hallways. Once we fill our marble jar, we have a marble celebration. We will determine the type of celebration as a class.
