Behavior Systems and Rewards

Hello to all our blogger friends! We need some ideas. Tanya and I want to change the way we track behavior through out the school day. We have used the green light, yellow light, and red light system for the last 2 years. And if a student didn't move their clip all week, they would get to go to our pitiful little treasure box on Friday. We use a laminated red file folder that has a chart/calendar for the whole school year on the inside and mark it each day so the parents will know how their child behaved that day. We called them "behavior charts" and we kept them in the back of the student's binders. It was taken home each day but only initialed by the parents on Fridays. We are tired to DEATH of this and want a more positive way to deal with this in the classroom.

What do you all do? And how do you reward the students? Please leave us a comment and share your idea! If you have blogged about this in a past post, please direct us to that post.

We thank all of you for sharing all your great ideas!!
