In my classroom, I follow a love and logic scale. This means that I allow children to be responsible for their own actions and provide them with positive choices. When an expectation is not followed, I typcially reply with a positive, rather than negative statement. The positive statement usually reminds students of what they are expected to do. I find that telling students what you would like them to do is more efficient than telling them to stop doing something else.

I give students many opportunities to be responsible for their day.

 

I acknowledge positive behavior and I reward it. When I see someone doing someting positive, they are given a class dojo point! Students earn points all week and then "cash" them in on Friday to "buy" a treat at our class store. 

​

Be sure to check your class dojo app for updates in real time about how your child is doing.

*Please know that I understand this may be your child's first experience in a classroom setting. Kindergarten is the time when children are learning what is expected of them in school. Your child can recieve 1 behavior reminder and still be on "green." During the beginning of the year I spend weeks setting very clear expectations on what constitutes a "green day" and my students are very successful.
