Classroom Clip Chart
It
is never too early to learn the importance of making responsible choices. So,
in our classroom, we keep track of our behavior on our classroom clip chart.
Students move their clip up on the chart for making responsible choices and
move their clip down on the chart for making inappropriate choices. The best
part about this system is that it gives students an opportunity to IMPROVE
their behavior and make better choices, which allows students to move back up
on the chart! The chart below explains how the clip chart works.
Outstanding
|
Students move to pink for making OUTSTANDING
choices in school. This level is reserved for extraordinary behavior. This is
truly a celebratory place to land!
|
Great Job
|
Students move to purple when they continue to make
positive choices. This is a great accomplishment!
|
Good
Day
|
Students move to blue for making positive choices,
trying their best, and showing good character.
|
Ready
to Learn
|
All students begin every day on green and are
ready to learn. Clips are moved up and down on
the chart according to choices they make in school. If your child remains on
green, they had a fabulous day at school and have done everything they need
to do to be successful at school! This is a good place to be every day.

Think
About It
|
Students move to yellow as a friendly reminder to
follow the classroom rules. It is a
warning to say something needs to change.
They will be asked to reflect about their behavior,
the choices made, and how they affected others.
|
Teacher’s Choice
|
Students who continue to make poor choices move to
orange. When students move to Teacher’s Choice, the teacher will choose an
appropriate consequence.
It could be taking a break, loss of privileges,
whatever is logical for the misbehavior and meaningful to the student.
|
Parent
Contact
|
Students who move to red will have the behavior
noted on the consequence form in the homework folder. This should be signed
by a parent and returned to school the next day. The student may also lose
recess time or other privileges. There may be additional contact from the
teacher through a note, e-mail, or phone call home to discuss the student’s
behavior.
