I
have been using Behavior Calendars in my classroom for many years now. This
resource allows me to communicate to students and to families student
daily behavior.
I
do not use a clip chart or color chart for behavior that hangs up in the room.
I feel that these types of charts only shame the child because everyone else in
the class can see their behavior on display. Instead, I use these calendars,
which are kept in their daily homework folders, so that I can communicate to
student and parent about how the day went. I look at the overall behavior at
the end of the day and record it in the behavior calendar. If a student
received an uh-oh or sad face they will also receive a conference with me and a
note home to their family explaining the behavior. The beauty of this is that
students can always turn their day around and make the right choices. They can
earn back a mistake, which is what we, as teachers, want anyway!
