Monday Made It! & Behavior Management

I'm linking up with Tara from 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It!

This week I worked on my whole class behavior management plan and it's still a work in progress.  Here is what I have so far: 

I'm using a clip chart next year, like many of you.  My levels are: 

Incredible choices

Ready to learn (where everyone will start)

First warning

Second warning (My students will need more than 1 warning)

Lose 1/2 your free time (we will have 10 minutes of free time at the end of each day)

Lose your free time

I am considering adding another "clip up" section but I want to keep it manageable.  I also made a mini clip-chart that can go to with them to specials (music, PE, art) if the kids are having a rough day.  

Any students who don't lose any free time during the week will get a prize on Friday.  The previous teacher left me a prize box so until the prize box items are gone, I'll mix the coupons and prizes.  

To minimize behavior problems, I plan on trying the CHAMP system.  CHAMP stands for: 

Communication - How can I communicate? (whisper, silence)

Help - How do I get help? (raise hand, ask 3 friends)

Activity - What activity are we doing? (centers, lesson, read aloud)

Movement - Can I move around the room? (pencil, bathroom)

Participation - How do I participate? (raise hand, cut, write, read)

I'm excited to go check out what everyone else made!
