Behavior Expectations
All fifth graders are expected to follow the 5 R’s throughout the year. They are based on the school’s behavior expectations from our discipline plan.
Aikahi 5 R’s:
1. Respect – Honoring oneself, others, the environment and authority.
2. Responsibility – Taking ownership of one’s actions, obligations, and commitments.
3. Resourcefulness – Being skilled and imaginative in finding ways to succeed.
4. Relationships – Valuing the benefit of respectfully working and playing together.
5. Resiliency – Adapting and striving for positive outcomes in adverse situations.
Positive Consequences
If the 5 R’s are followed, the following system of positive consequences will be implemented:
Individual Rewards
1. Teacher has (+) meeting w/ student
2. Lunch Bunch with the teacher
3. Activity choice from “Fun Time” menu
4. Bonus time to play a math board or computer game
Class Rewards
1. Verbal praise for one & all
2. 10 Minute Bonus time – Student’s Choice
3. Class activity - Teacher’s Choice
Consequences
Our classroom will use a clip chart to monitor behavior. A clip chart is a great tool that allows students to be rewarded for positive behavior, while discouraging negative behavior. Each student has a clothespin, or clip, with his or her name on it. Everyone will start on green at the beginning of each day, and clips can be moved up and down throughout the day based on behavior.
Students will earn tickets to “buy” rewards on the level they end the day with!
{Ticket scale: green = 1; blue = 2; purple = 3; pink = 4}
· The Super Student level is reserved for outstanding behavior. A student who reaches this level will earn a special note home, and a jewel on his/her clip. After five jewels, clips will be retired to the Hall of Fame and a new clip will be given!
· Students can move to the Great Job level for continuing to display good behavior. You should be very proud of your child for reaching this level!
· Students will move to the Good Choices level for showing that they are making the right behavior decisions! Ending the day on this level is great!
· Every student will start the day on the Ready to Learn level. As the day goes on, clips can be moved up and down, based on behavior. This level is a good one to be on!
· A student will be moved to the Think About It level as a warning about his/her behavior, and a reminder to follow the rules.
· Students who continue to display poor behavior can move down to the Teacher’s Choice level. Here, the teacher can decide what action to take. Loss of recess is an appropriate choice.
· When a student moves to the Parent Contact level, the teacher will notify parents via note or phone call. A visit to the Principal’s office might also be in order. Students on this level may also lose recess time, etc.
Severe Clause
A student will be sent directly to the principal if the student:
1. Commits or threatens to commit physical harm on another student or adult.
2. Damages or destroys the property of the teacher, school, or another student.
3. Refuses to work or follow teacher directions.
4. Engages in behavior that disrupts the smooth functioning of the classroom.
