Making Good Choices
In fourth grade, students are learning to become independent learners. Therefore, fourth graders are responsible for their own choices and actions. Students are expected to behave in a respectful manner in the school building. Inappropriate behavior will warrant parental contact and school intervention. Within class, students are held to high expectations to ensure that all students get the opportunity to learn in a positive environment.
In order to assure students are always focused and on task, we will be implementing the “Making Good Choices” management system. This plan consists of students changing their color card whenever they are found to be off task. This is a reminder for students to get themselves back on task and ready to learn.
green- "I am making good choices. I am focused and ready to learn."
yellow - "I better get back on task. I might be a little distracted."
orange - "I am still off task. I really need to get back on track so I don't miss out
on any learning." Students complete a Think Sheet to reflect on their
behavior and choices.
red- "While I know I can make good choices, today, I am not making very good
ones. Parents will be contacted to discuss this off task behavior and decision
making.
