Classroom Management

• In my classroom, we earn marbles as our
  classroom management system. Each day, the
  children are rewarded with a certain amount of
  marbles for good behavior as a group. They earn
  marbles for working hard, listening carefully,
  walking nicely in the halls, etc. When we fill
  up our marble jar to the halfway mark, students
  will earn a treat. When we fill the marble jar
  completely up, we will have a bigger party!
• Students may also earn treats throughout the day
  from the treat jars for completing an assignment
  nicely, working hard, etc.
• Hoot Hoot Horray Slips
• You will see green slips coming home
  occasionally with your kiddos. They can earn a
  slip by showing outstanding behavior or hard
  work. When your child receives this slip, he/she
  has earned a green for the day!
