  5. Second Grade Behavior Plan • Every day the students will start on green. • The students will go up and down based on their behavior. • Students will track their behavior at the end of the day in their agendas. If they were on yellow , orange, or red, I will write a comment as well. • If students are on red, they might have to walk minutes at recess, write an apology letter, work independently rather than with the group, etc. If the child continues to have problems, his or her clip will go on my desk and the parents will receive a note, email, or phone call. • If students stay on green by the end of the day, they will receive one ticket. If they are on yellow, they will receive two tickets to put in the basket. At the end of the week, there will be a drawing for outstanding behavior! “TREAT PEOPLE RIGHT. DO THE RIGHT THING.”

(center-based) • All students will take an assessment on Friday that tests their ability to apply the word study pattern in all aspects of language arts.
