Behavior Clip Chart Management Toolkit {Ice Cream Theme}

I cannot believe that summer vacation is half way over. I have been reminiscing over last year. What went really well and not so well. Last year I had behavior logs that were sent home daily. They worked okay, but there was room for improvement. I took some time and came up with a complete behavior management toolkit. I revised the behavior log to reflect various levels of  achievement to try to emphasize the POSITIVE and down play the negative. This is what I came up with.

The toolkit contains useful positive behavior reinforcement resources. The chart gives the students a visual to help them reinforce positive behavior in the classroom. Students’ names are attached to clothespins and then clipped onto the chart. As their behavior improves (or worse) they move their clip up (or down) on the chart. It rewards students for good choices and allows them to redeem themselves after making poor choices. 

The Monthly Behavior Report informs the parents of the students’ choices during the day. There is a place for comments as well.

To foster positive behavior I have included reward coupons, motivational bracelets, and “Good Behavior” certificates and/or postcards.

PP. 3 - 10 Ice Cream Behavior Clip Chart: It is suggested to print on card stock, cut out, laminate for durability, and then assemble.
