In our classroom students and adults use a clip chart to help monitor class behavior. Each student begins the day in the middle of the chart on "Ready For A Challenge". Students move their individual clothespin up or down during the day depending on the choices they make.

When a student ends the day at the top of the chart the student earns a gem on their clip. When a student earns 5 gems they are able to select a class coupon of their choice. Below are each coupon students are able to select from.
Bubble Gum, Fuzzy Friend, Wear a Hat, Officer Walk Around, Read Aloud , Show & Tell, New Pencil, Drawing Time
Students who earn a Chew Gum coupon are able to bring gum into the classroom to chew for the day. If they leave the classroom for a bathroom break, lunch, special, or dismissal they must put the gum in the trash. They may chew a new piece of gum once they return to the classroom. I would encourage families to select sugar free gum for students.
Gum Rules
1. Gum must stay inside your mouth.
2. No blowing bubbles
3. Gum must be disposed of in a garbage can.
Students may use this coupon to choose from a variety of fun new pencils.
This coupon allows students to join our Officer Sean on a walk around the school. The student who earns the coupon is allowed to invite one classroom friend to join them. Officer Sean is only in our building on Tuesday so students who select this coupon may need to wait for a few days to enjoy their reward.
Students who earn a Fuzzy Friend coupon may bring a stuffed animal into the classroom to have on their desk for a day. The stuffed animal must be small enough to fit on the student desk. The Fuzzy Friend is only allowed in the classroom, not aT PE or lunch. If the stuffed animal becomes a distraction from classwork it is moved to a nearby table or shelf to watch the student from a distance.
