Behavior Plan Positive Reinforcement- Students can earn “Freedman Cash” for following classroom rules and lifelong guidelines Consequences- Students first receive a warning for not following rules. If same rule or another rule is broken, the student will receive a strike (this is all documented on a chart) If behavior continues, the child will receive another strike, at this point, they will complete a “problem solving form.” If the behavior continues a phone call to parents will be made
Classroom Economy Students will earn cash for following rules and completing their assigned jobs. On Friday, each student will receive a paycheck that they will cash at the bank. Students can use their money to purchase items at the store. Students will apply for jobs every nine weeks Each strike will result in a deduction at the end of the week Non-completed homework will also be a deducation
Let’s Recycle Please send in 1-3 toys, books, etc. that your child is not using These items will be sold to students using their Freedman Cash
