Behavior+Policy


 * __ Behavior Policy for Third Grade __**

**For negative behavior:**

· If a student breaks a school or classroom rule they will be given a verbal warning and, if time permits, will be spoken to privately by the teacher.

· If the behavior continues, the student will bring their agenda book to the teacher and a brief note will go home to the parents.

· At the same time, the student will pull two consequences from the “Consequence Jar”. He or she will then choose one of the two consequences as their “punishment”. These range from 5 minutes of missed recess to writing a letter of apology.

· As a last resort, the student will be sent to the office with a referral from the teacher.

**For positive behavior:**

· Each classroom will be using a “ticket system” to reward positive behavior. Since we are all participating, we will be able to reward all students in the 3rd grade. Students will be able to turn in tickets for different r rewards.

· Individual teachers may have other positive behavior systems in place for group work as well.

· Positive verbal reinforcement will be a priority.
