Clip It Up!Behavior Management System

Room 13 Clip it Up! is a way for students to monitor their behavior in the

classroom. Each student has a clothespin with their classroom number on it. They each begin the day in the middle of the chart on Green. As we go through the day the students will have the opportunity to clip up or down on the Clip it Up! chart depending on their behavior. This is what the chart looks like:

• Rainbow---Super Student!• Blue---Way to Go!• Green---Ready to Learn• Yellow---Needed Reminders Today

(Teacher Choice)• Red—Make Better Choices

– Parent Contact (note or phone call to inform parent)

Page 18: Curriculum Night 2 nd  Grade

Perks• Students on GREEN at the end of the day get

to give someone else a double high five• Students on BLUE will get a class buck to

spend at the class store. • Students on RAINBOW will get a punch on

their perk card. Once they earn 20 punches they will go to the treasure box.

Bobcat Binder This is your child’s Bobcat Binder for the

second grade school year. This binder will contain data that

has been collected each week. The purpose of the Bobcat

Binder is to provide you and your child information concerning

their academic growth throughout each quarter. All of the

papers in this binder must remain in the binder until I remove

them and send them home to you at the end of the quarter. I

would like you to look through the binder with your child the

night it comes home and discuss the papers and data. The

binders will need to be returned to school the next day.

You will need to sign the paper located in the front of the

binder every week saying that you looked at the binder and

the data inside it.

Student of the Week

During the week that your child is Student of the Week please help your child prepare a poster describing your child. You can use pictures or drawings depicting events from your child’s life. Baby pictures, vacation photos, school pictures, special events, can all be included on the poster. Please send it to school on the Monday that it is due. I usually contact parents at least a week in advance to let them know about the upcoming assignment. Posters will be returned a week after your child has shared the poster with the class.

Optional but not required: Students can bring one item for show and tell on Friday. Students can also bring a treat to share with the class. Please do not send in peanuts, tree nuts, or peaches. Furthermore, please remember to send in store bought food only. Healthy food is preferred.
