I'mmmmm back!! This year has been so busy and flown by for me! I have missed writing here and sharing the activities we are doing. I posted most of them on IG, so follow me there for more!
Regarding classroom management - I do NOT like color charts at all!!! I honestly can't stand them. There is too much focus on what color they are on which I don't like everyone knowing that in the class. What some student is working on is none of other classmate's business! I feel like it focusing on the negative, and I wouldn't want my behavior up for display at a staff meeting. Right??
At carpool- what is the first thing a parent asks... what color were you on? Not- "how was your day?", "what did you learn?", or "what was your favorite part of the day?" I don't like that at all.
What works best for me? I use a super improvers wall similar to the Whole Brain Teaching model. I have cards for each student, and they move up in color as they improve academically or behaviorally. This WORKS!! We celebrate each other as they move up. When there is improvement or a child or group of children are doing what they are supposed to be doing, they can earn a star on their card. When they earn 10 stars, they move up to the next color/ level.
