Behavior Management Plan

–

In our classroom there is a pocket chart that I useto monitor the behavior of the students. Each child has a green, yellow, and redcard above their name. If a child breaks the classroom rules, they move their cardfrom green to yellow. This serves as a warning. If they break a rule a second time,they move their card

from yellow to red. Your child’s behavior will be marked each

day on a monthly calendar

that is placed inside your child’s home/school folder.
