We use Responsibility Reminders at Island View Elementary:

Discipline Policy

The above classroom rules are posted in our room.

We have a "Responsibility Reminder" pocket chart in our classroom. When a student is not following classroom rules, they put a reminder in their pocket.

One verbal warning
Blue reminder - Warning
Green "Go" - Time out from activity
Yellow "Slow down" - Miss recess
Red "STOP" - Teacher calls home

Positive incentives include:

Positive praise, smelly stickers, etc. for individuals who show responsibility in class.

Points for groups (we have 5) who are ready to learn and have great teamwork behaviors.

Marbles in a can for whole-class achievement. The class decides upon the reward which they have earned.

Behavior certificates are awarded at each trimester to all first graders receiving 4 or less reminders per month.
