K-LT’s Class Wide Behavior Management System

Individual Student Behavior – Magnetic Clip Rainbow Chart

Student choices are tracked on a Rainbow Chart. Al l students begin the day on green in the middl e

of the chart. Cl o thespins are moved up or down depending on choices. Cl i ps that are moved down

may be moved back up if the teachers see the student making improved choices. In addition, once a

clip is moved up, it may be moved down. All clothespins are moved back to green at the end of the day

to initiate a fresh start for the next day.

If a student moves their cl i p to Role Model, they wil l receive a special note

to take home. This l e vel is reserved for extraordinary behavior and wil l be

given out on extraordinary occasions. We want this l e vel to remain special

                                           

therefore pl e ase do not expect your chil d to reach this l e vel dail y or even

weekl y .

 

A student woul d move to Great Choices for continuing to make

                                                                                       

appropriate choices throughout the day. This l e vel woul d require going

above and beyond the everyday cl a ssroom expectations. Pl e ase

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

congratul a te your chil d when they reach this l e vel !

 

A student may move to Good Choices for making appropriate choices,

trying their best, and showing good character. This is a great level to end

 

the day on and shoul d make you and your chil d very proud!

 

Al l students begin the day on Ready to Learn. They wil l move up or down

during the day depending on the choices they make. This is an acceptabl e

 

 

level to stay at. If your child ends the day on this level it does not mean

that they were not a good listener, or that they got in troubl e . This l e vel

 

simpl y means that your chil d was appropriate and ready to l e arn al l day.

 

A student may move to Warning as a reminder to fol l o w the cl a ssroom rul e s.

At this level, your child will have no consequence, other than moving their clip

 

down a l e vel . This wil l just remind your chil d of their actions.

 

When a student needs to move down to Think About It the teachers wil l

 

have a conversation with your chil d to discuss their behavior. Your chil d wil l

then be given some time to think about their actions and turn their day

 

around. The teachers wil l choose an appropriate consequence. The

consequences coul d be taking a “think break”, minutes off at recess time,

 

loss of privileges, or something that woul d assist in becoming meaningful to

the student to deter the action from happening again. This l e vel woul d

 

resul t in a brief note home indicating what happened during the day.

 

This is a l e vel that we hope a chil d woul d have had an opportunity to turn

their day around before having to get here. A student who moves to STOP

 

- Consequence has broken several cl a ssroom rul e s and is not conducting

themsel v es in a safe and appropriate manner for the cl a ssroom. At this

 

level, communication home would be made throughout the school day or after

school. A possibl e visit to the principal may be needed in addition to a

 

 

consequence such as those stated in the previous l e vel . A teacher wil l sit

with your chil d at the end of the day to compl e te a “think sheet” to discuss

the day’s events and how they can work together to make “tomorrow” a

better day.
