Behavior Management: Kindness Counts

Here's a picture of our "Kindness count" this week!

In our classroom, it's our job to work together so that we can learn. When we work together by following directions, making good decisions, and helping one another we earn "kindness count" points. At the end of the week we count up all of the tally marks and record our progress on the "heart tree." Jasper came up with a great idea to add up all the points on the heart tree at the end of the month, which would be fun too!

Everyone has been settling in nicely and working hard to help stay on-task. They really are little sparklers! It's only been two days and they've already earned many points (we give them out in groups of five, so that kids can learn how to make tally marks as well.) I'm very impressed with how willing this new bunch of kids is to show respect, solve problems, and make good decisions. They should be proud of all their hard work!
