Discipline Plan: Buzzing to Good Behavior
We use a “stoplight” classroom management system. All students begin each day with their bee on the green.
We have three Bee Rules:
- Bee Safe
- Bee Kind
- Bee Your Best!
If they break a rule, they will move their bee to yellow. This means that they will spend 5 minutes sitting out at recess.
If they break another rule in the same day, they will move their bee to red. This means they will sit out during one recess and parents will be contacted about what occured that day.
At the end of each day the students will get their hand stamped with a green bee if they were on green for the day. Students can show the stamp to the parents to show their good behavior.
Review of Discipline Plan
- Green: Hand stamped green at the end of the day to show good behavior.
- Yellow: Miss 5 minutes of recess, no stamp on hand.
- Red: Miss 1 recess, note home to parents, no stamp on hand.
