Behavior Plan

Making the Behavior Plan

1:  Use the cutting board to cut printed strips of the students names. 

2: Glue the name onto the star (we went with 'puffy' stars this year) and fold down the edges on around the back

3: Add a picture of each student to the star (these pictures were taken on the 1st day of school in Katie's Garden & the students were holding a stuffed animal Nemo- super cute!)

4: Laminate and add velcro to the back so the stars can move on the wall

How the Star Wall Works

Everyday, all students start the day on 3. This reminds the students that each day is a fresh start for them to make good decisions or bad decisions. Teachers can tell students to move their star up or down periodically throughout the day.You can move the stars up or down as many times as you see fit. Sometimes students will be on 5 at lunch but then choose to misbehave all afternoon and end the day on 1. Here are a few times we like to acknowledge students & let them move their stars:

-the 1st 3 students who quietly & quickly move rugs during morning message/calender time

-when setting a good example while the rest of the class is noisy

- a student who had been making bad choices but has decided to turn their behavior around

- when whole class sat through a lesson & made great behavior choices

- a student who raises their hand and speaks only when they are supposed to 

- after lunch if no one's bands were taken

- & any other time when we are proud of our students and want them to know it! 

Lunch Bands: Before lunch, each student get a rubber band to wear on their wrist. They wear it all during lunch but if it gets lost, broken, or if a teacher has to take it away then they must move their star down and walk laps during recess. At recess, they have to talk to the teacher and explain why they were asked to walk laps.
