Weekly Behavior Sticks
At the beginning of each week each child will have 5 “crayon” sticks in their crayon box behind my desk. On Friday I will send home a paper letting you know how many sticks they have left. They will receive a small prize for keeping the appropriate number of sticks – a sticker, lollipop, small trinket. I have set goals of specific number of sticks I expect them to keep for each quarter. Please be aware that I change the number as we go into the next quarter. A stick will be pulled after the child has received a verbal warning and continues in the unacceptable behavior. A stick will immediately be pulled if a child has hurt another child either physical of verbally or been destructive to another child’s belongings. I am working on reinforcing the correct acceptable behavior in school. I will not call you every time a stick is pulled. This is a learning process. It’s not a big deal to lose a stick here and there; we all make mistakes and that’s how we learn! If your child does not have the correct number of sticks left they will receive a sad face and no treat for that week. Please treat this as a kick off for a discussion of how to do better next week and not a punishment. Remember we start fresh every Monday, it never carries over.
My time line is as follows:
September to November 15: 5 to 2 sticks gets a treat, 1 stick left no treat
November 16 to January 15: 5 to 3 sticks get a treat, 2 sticks left no treat
January 16 to April 9: 5 to 4 sticks get a treat, 3 sticks left no treat
April 10 to June: 5 sticks get a treat 4 sticks left no treat
