*Make sure to see the newsletter for next week in the post below. This is a new behavior system we are using in the kindergarten classrooms during our carpet learning time. If a student is not following directions (ex: talking to people, interrupting the lesson, calling out, trying to play...) they will be given a nonverbal warning by me. I will look at them and do either the sign language sign for focus or stop (both of which they know) and hold up one finger. This is their first warning. If the behavior continues, I will do the stop or focus sign again and hold up two fingers. This is their second warning. If this continues then the student will be on Stop and Think. They will have to fill out a stop and think card where they draw/write their behavior and how it made them feel. They will draw/write a better choice they could have made and the bottom has a place for the teacher to describe the behavior. It will then be sent home for you to look at. Recently, our Second Step (Social Emotional) curriculum has taught us strategies for staying on task when distracted by other. The carpet is a great place place for students to use this learning. We have learned about ignoring the inappropriate behavior of others and using self talk to make good choices and stay on task. The students are doing a great job with this. We ended our apple unit by making and eating some yummy applesauce! The students did am amazing job with their pumpkin measuring. Looks great!
