I love the idea of the clip chart and I plan to use it in my classroom. Just a few questions...first, do you have a letter that you send to parents explaining the system? Second, as students end the day on blue-pink is there some type of reward system that you use? Do they only get a jewel at pink? What do you do for ending at blue or purple? Do they earn some type of prize or reward when they have a certain number of days at a level? Sorry for all the questions, but I appreciate any suggestions you have.prncss1204https://www.blogger.com/profile/16520338309260710703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552904866848236784.post-70813637994118527432012-02-25T10:40:06.764-05:002012-02-25T10:40:06.764-05:00I just found this via Pinterest and THANK YOu.

I want my kids to understand that to be recognized like that takes a lot of going above what is just a general expectation. Like you, most days no one made it to the top. I would say at most, one kid a week got to the top. Some days two kids would and other days no one would.<br /><br />They LOVED the jewels! Even my boys were super psyched to add one to their clips!<br /><br />:)<br />ChristinaChristina Bainbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16706097644672521776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552904866848236784.post-38992995086390093002011-07-25T22:47:21.876-04:002011-07-25T22:47:21.876-04:00Hi Jess- my school is a PBIS school and we stay co...Hi Jess- my school is a PBIS school and we stay conscious of a 5 to 1 ratio- 5 positive to one negative... and I use a TON of positives in my classroom, so kids who move their clips down often get their "warm fuzzies" from me in other ways. This past year was my first with a clip chart and I don't think any of my kiddos ever felt bad about moving down- partly because of the good rapport I have with them and partly because the clip chart helps them understand how THEY caused themselves to move down based on their own choices. It truly is a great tool in teaching personal responsibility for choices.<br /><br />Hope that helps!<br /><br />:)<br />ChristinaChristina Bainbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16706097644672521776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552904866848236784.post-9449719206341608382011-07-25T20:47:09.753-04:002011-07-25T20:47:09.753-04:00I use a similar clip chart, and I totally agree - ...I use a similar clip chart, and I totally agree - the opportunity to move up is so important! The jewels are new to me though and look so fun. I'm wondering though - how many kids per day/ week make it all the way to the top?

This is something I have never done... I think parents focus waaaaay too much on that. If a student has horrible behavior, I inform parents and if a student has outstanding behavior, I inform parents. But unless a student makes it to one end or the other of the clip chart, it stays between me and my kiddos.<br /><br />I do have a note explaining the clip chart. It's on my website.
