Classroom Management Plan

Grade 5

Classroom Agreements

1. We will keep our hands and feet to ourselves.

2. We will treat others, as we want to be treated.

3. We will be friends with everyone.

4. We will respect others and ourselves.

5. We will respect other’s property.

6. We will listen when the teacher or another classmate is talking.

7. We will line up quietly in a straight line.

8. We will use a quiet, inside voice when talking.

9. We will complete all work and homework on time.

10. We will have fun learning!

Consequences

I have a stoplight behavior system in my classroom. Students each have a green, yellow, red, and white card with their name on it. Each day they begin with a green card. If they break their agreement throughout the day, the following procedures may be followed:

1. Verbal Warning

2. Green Card Pulled – If students have already received a verbal warning and they break another agreement, they have to pull their green card.

3. Yellow Card Pulled – If students have been given a verbal warning and have pulled a green card, then break another agreement, they will pull their yellow card.

4. Red Card Pulled – Students may be sent to the office and/or parents called, or a note home.

HOMEWORK

Students, who do not turn in homework on time, will spend recess in a study hall to complete their assignments. Scores on late assignments will be lowered one letter grade. If this becomes a habitual problem, other consequences may be given, such as being sent to the office to call a parent.

Rewards

· Positive reinforcement and daily praise

· Positive notes home (random)

· Positive phone calls

· Choice of a fun activity for filling marble jar!

· Positive Action cards

· Stickers

· Students having a green card the entire week will get a positive action card on Friday and will place a sticker on their incentive chart. At the end of five weeks, those having a green card the entire time will earn a prize from the treasure box.
