Gold Tags

NEW CLASSROOM PROGRAM!

Gold Tags

Well, it’s the time of the school year where the bright and shiny of school wears off and it’s time to get real.  And to get rewarded! J

Your child will be earning these gold tags throughout our day.  I will pass these out to students who are making good choices, being good listeners, following directions, helping friends, etc.  I may even hand them out just for showing up at school!

On the flip side, I will be taking away gold tags for misbehavior – talking while someone else is talking, playing instead of cleaning, not lining up when recess is over, etc.  (Extreme misbehavior such as violence will still result in a trip to Mr. Rykse’s office)

At the end of the week – we will each count our gold tags (math lesson!).  If your child had any gold tags by Friday afternoon – they will get to participate in Friday Fun Minutes!  If your child has the MOST gold tags – they’ll get to pick their Friday Fun station first.  Then the child with the next highest will pick, and so on.  If your child doesn’t have any gold tags by Friday – they’ll have to sit out Friday Fun minutes for that week. 

A small note will come home in Monday Folders with your kiddos results from the previous week – perhaps you’ll want to find a way to reward the good weeks and maybe even a consequence for a bad week?  It helps for you and I to be on the same team!

It’s a lot to explain – but it’s going to be fun and help reinforce that positive behavior!

Let me know if you have any questions!
