This year I will be using brag tags as a form of positive reinforcement strategy for rewarding positive behavior and achievements both academically and socially. They can earn these tags throughout the day and school year. Not to worry if your child isn't coming home each day saying they earned another brag tag because we are also going to be utilizing Class Dojo. Students will earn dojo points for positive behavior. However if an unwanted behavior occurs they can get a warning or lose dojo points! Each month students will have to earn a certain number of dojo points to join us in extra recess, etc.
We also have a class behavior management system. This is used when other teachers compliment us in the hallway, working hard in specialists, etc they will earn a cupcake to go on the pan! Once the whole pan is filled I will pull a stick and that student will a cupcake off the board and a class reward is written on the back.
