Love and Logic "You can do anything you want in this classroom provided it doesn't cause a problem for someone else."   The discipline plan in my classroom is much the same as our school wide plan: 1. Take care of yourself 2. Take care of each other 3. Take care of the environment It is designed to share control, share thinking and decision-making, and help children increase their self-concept by setting enforceable limits in a loving way with logical consequences. Logical consequences will help your child fix his mistakes and know what to do next time, not make him feel bad. Your child will be held accountable for solving his problems in a way that does not make a problem for others. It is my hope that through respect and empathy I can help your child gain the necessary skills to make good choices and realize that making it through a tough situation is always an option. In addition to providing a safe environment where kids feel free to take risks and feel empowered with making choices. I am passionate about building a working community where we truly care for one another. In building this trust and community your child will take part in a Compliment Circle(during Morning Meeting) where we share good things about each other...to one another. A true testament to being a family. A true sign that we are all in this together; each and every one of us encouraged to filling each other's bucket! Jump to our bucket page!

We will use a large Judy Clock - that begins on 8:00. Each time we receive a compliment we move the minute hand one minute. Once the clock has moved 15 minutes the class receives a reward. This is a great way to reinforce the concept of time while rewarding the class for excellent behavior. Rewards are as follows: 8:15 - 15 extra minutes of recess 8:30 - 30 minutes of game time 8:45 - 45 minutes of computer time 9:00 - class picnic or pizza in the room for lunch If the class reaches all of the above rewards, the rewards start over.
