Rewards & Consequences

Rewards

When we go to work and do our best, we are rewarded with a paycheck.  Students who come to school, do their best to learn and allow others to learn should be rewarded as well.  
What happens if my child is making good choice?
  • Praise (daily)
  • Personal satisfaction (daily)
  • The joy of learning (daily)
  • "Surprise Box" (throughout the year)
  • Respect from Others (daily)
  • Success (daily)
  • Take "Funky Falcon" home for the night (throughout the year)

Consequences

​The whole idea of consequences really means that we're holding children accountable for their own actions. It doesn't mean that a child is "bad", it simply means that the behavior was unacceptable and it needs to be stopped.  By stopping the behavior at the moment, we are helping the child learn to control his/her own behavior and to be accountable for his/her own actions in the future.
Common Problems
    • Negative thinking (using the words "I can't" or not trying)
    • Not paying attention or "off task" behaviors
    • Talking during instruction, talking out or distracting others
    • Not doing homework
    • Not being prepared for class with binder, supplies, plenty of sleep, etc.
    • Not following directions the first time they were given
More Severe Problems
    • Cheating, stealing, fighting and inappropriate language
    • Insubordination - Being disrespectful to ANY adult or person in charge
Picture
In order to keep our classroom a safe and respectful place to learn, something needs to change when the above problems occur.  Through the use of consequences, we can change negative habits into positive ones.
What happens if the rules are broken and learning is disrupted?
1st Time    Verbal warning

2nd Time   Loss of 10 minutes of recess while you rehearse the rules

3rd Time   "Time-Out!" form sent home and loss of remaining recess for day. Parents may also be contacted by phone, a text, or through a note

4th Time   Office Referral / See Principal
 
Behaviors that can result in immediate loss of recess and/or time-out include rude or hurtful comments or physical actions directed towards others.  Continued or severe problems may result in removal from class or an immediate office referral.
