This morning we began by talking about our individual behavior chart. A note about these policies was sent home today, but students were explained t hat they will be held accountable for their behavior and will be reporting their behavior in a note that will be sent home daily. We also picked new jobs for the week.
In library today we read Cookies: Bite-Size Life Lessons. It is a book full of great life lessons including, for example "Trustworthy means, If you ask me to hold your cookie until you come back, when you come back, I will still be holding your cookie." We then checked out new library books and also got to listen to How Are You Peeling? (a story about emotions told wi th pictures of fruits and vegetables that have expressions). We began work on another set of pattern snakes, using different patterns AABAABAAB, ABCABCABC, or ABBABBABB.
After lunch, we finished our pattern snakes. I modeled good coloring practices and then students helped in coloring our alphabet cards that we will use as we continue to learn more letters. After students finished, the decorated bookmarks that we will use in our library books throughout the week.
Don't forget that tomorrow is "Wear Red Day"
for Red Ribbon Week.
for Red Ribbon Week.

How great that you're using individual behavior charts with your students. They're can be so effective for exactly what you're talking about - being accountable for their behavior and bridging the communication gap between school and home. Way to go!
I found a site with a good selection of free behavior charts:
