Rules+of+Conduct

Rules of conduct (maximum of five for primary grades, six for upper grades)

In my Kindergarten placement the teacher had four circles (decorated like faces) green, yellow, orange, and red. If the students broke a rule they were given a warning and after that they moved down a circle. When they moved to yellow they lost 5 minutes of recess, orange 10 minutes, red fifteen, and if they continued to disregard the rules they were sent to the office. Students were given chances to move their clips back up if they contineued to follow the rules for the rest of the day or showed an exceptional act of kindness or dilligence. At the end of the day if their clip was not on green a letter was sent home to inform the parent(s) what had occured that day.
 * 1) Show repect. (raise your hand to share information, don't talk when an adult is talking, etc.)
 * 2) Clean up your space
 * 3) Use nice words.
 * 4) Follow directions
 * 5) Be Safe

In third grade the student each had a pocket with their name on it. If they break a rule they have to put a red slip in their pocket. The first strip is a warning, each subsequent stip is 5 minutes off of recess. If they collect more than three red strips in their pocket they are sent to the office and a calll is made to the parents.
