Fourth Grade Management Plan
Credits and Debits:
We use a classroom money system. The students are rewarded for good behavior, following directions and being a responsible student by earning money from the teacher. For the times when a student acts inappropriately, doesn’t follow directions or fails to be responsible for assignments or materials they will owe classroom money to the teacher.
Each quarter we will use money for class auctions. Before the auctions, parents will be asked to provide items for the children to purchase. Later in the year, students will also be able to use their money for homemade items at the Fourth Grade Economics Market.
Strikes:
A strike may be administered if class expectations are not met. Class expectations are decided by the class at the beginning of the school year. The teacher has the right to bypass strikes if behavior warrants such action.
At the beginning of each day each student begins with zero strikes.
Strike 1 = Student owes $5 and 5 minutes at recess
Strike 2 = Student owes $10 and 10 minutes at recess
Strike 3 = Monetary fine and consequence will be decided by teacher.
Restroom Pass:
Students are given 8 planned restroom breaks during the school day. However, there may be times students need to use the restroom during instruction or work time. At the beginning of each quarter, they will be given 9 restroom passes to use at will. At the end of the quarter, each unused restroom pass can be exchanged for 1% on a low grade on an assignment or $5.00 in classroom money. We will deal with medical issues on a case-by-case basis.
