Classroom Behavior Stuff

Linking up with The Lesson Plan Diva for this one...



I'm sure most of you can relate, but I just have to say that I get sooooo excited when someone sees something on my blog and wants to use it or gives me a thumbs up for it. We all work so hard and I feel like Blogland gives us all a chance to make each other feel the love. Am I right? Okay so the number one thing I get requests for is my Ooops Behavior Log. I'm just going to go ahead and post everything I use for behavior purposes in my classroom and hopefully you can get some inspiration. If you are missing on font, or want some of the wording changed, just feel free to leave me a comment with your email. It's summer and sadly, I am still laid off so I have A LOT of time... 

Here is the behavior chart I laminate and hang. Just print them on to different colored paper.

This is the infamous Ooops Log! 

Here is the weekly behavior notice I send home to parents. It took me a long time to figure out a way that I wouldn't have to write in the date... Headers and Footers! Each student gets one page. For example, Student A's name would be on page one, twice. Student B's name would be on page two, twice. (Each kid is getting their own page... is this making sense? Geeez it's been a long day) So I have 25 students and they each get their own page. I change the header to week 1's dates and then the footer to week 2's dates and then print. It works for me bc I don't have to do ANY writing this way. All I do is color in the kids suns. Also, I send these home on Thursday and the kiddos bring them back Friday, when their homework is due. I had a lot of these get lost over the weekend. Which actually leads me to my next reason why I love this layout... if someone loses it, I just quickly print them a new page and color it in then and there. No copy machine trip.

A teaching friend found this contract online and I just did a little bit of moving around on it. (I wish I knew where it came from) For students that need a little more "attention" I use a daily behavior notice that I fill out several times throughout the day. I have only had to do this for about 4 students and it works well.

Here is the daily in a template you can edit. (no pictures)

And for all those amazing students that need a little note home...

Again, let me know if you want some changes or for me to email it to you so you can make your own changes!

loooving these right now...

Sarah Cooley from First Grader...at Last! has a some really cute ideas... here's some of my favorites:

How cute are these scrapbook themed book reports?!

 I am loving this "Five Bees" idea instead of just a generic rule chart...

Cara Carroll of "The First Grade Parade" introduced me to my new obsession. Seriously, I am losing sleep over these Brag Tags. I emailed her for more info, (she is soooo super nice and helpful by the way) pitched the idea to my PTA, and starting next week... my school will be Brag Tag crraaaazzzzy! So exciting. 

She also has some great Classroom Management techniques...

I am going to use this pumpkin vine idea but with a Christmas twist. A fabulous 1st grade teacher friend suggested a Christmas tree and the Bingo Dots would be ornaments?

I've had Bucket Filling on my mind for a while now, but I think this is the year I am going for it. Cara has a really cute Bucket Filler poster and some links to get this started in your own room. 

So these are two of my favorite teachers at the moment. I am hoping to get a new camera this Christmas so I can take some pictures of my room and share. Until then...
