Classroom The class schedule is on the front board to help student learn where we are at and to know what is next. Movement routing and reasoning: each time we come in or before we leave the class everyone sits in their seat this keeps students from running or pushing to try and line up. Each student lines up on a separate floor marker in the classroom and on the white lines after recess

Token System Students can earn token for any/all of the following: being a good listener Staying on task with work Helping out/cleaning up someone else's mess Assisting a friend The token chart is a living item which means there is no end to how many times a student can earn a prize. Once a student reaches the prize they get to choose their prize and their token chart starts anew.

Classroom Helpers Everyone will have multiple times to be a classroom helper Helpers are chosen by a check off system so that everyone gets to before each of the specific areas once before we start the rotations over If a helper is absent then I will pick good helpers through out the school day to step in the helpers place Each student should have their own pillow
