DIY CLIP CHART

This file includes all the printables needed to make your own classroom
"Clip Chart“ inspired by the clip chart from Rick Morris. I love this
system because students can move up and down the chart as the day
progresses, offering students the opportunity to make smart choices
and improve their behavior. It also encourages the "green light"
students to "rise above" to role model and outstanding status.

Why is mine better? I am fond of my clip chart simply because of the

vocabulary. Saying “You are really showing pride, Randy” is so much
more powerful than just “good job.” It has become part of my everyday
vocabulary, and I’ll never go back! I also like the reverse rainbow colors,
with red being “Parent Contact.” Students and parents connect it to
familiar stoplight systems.

TIPS: I printed mine on photo paper for a crisp look, attached to poster
board and laminated it for durability. I glue a thin strip of cardboard to
the top before I punch holes and hang. This prevents it from curling at
the top.
