LauraEvans-My Mentor's Management Plan

Mrs. Costello has a couple of management plans, but the one used for behavior seems to work the best. In the kindergarten classroom there is a pocket chart with each of the students' names in it. There are also four color coded cards by each name to indicate their behavior for that particular day. Green is good, then yellow is for the first time the student misbehaves, red means that they lose recess time, and finally blue means that a note will be sent to their parents. The students seem to respond to this really well, they never want to be "put on yellow". I like this system because the students are given several chances and they are able to see what their behavior is like for the day. The chart is located at the front of the room so the children are constantly seeing it and being reminded to behave. I plan to keep this in mind when devising my own management plan in the future.
