8. Classroom Behavior Plan Clothespins start on “Awesome Day” (green) each day. First warning moves the clothespin to “Verbal Warning” (blue). Second warning moves the clothespin to “Time Out” (yellow). Third warning moves the clothespin to “Loss of Afternoon Recess” (red) and a phone call home. Further warnings may warrant a referral and possible visit to the office. Students will take home a small colored square matching the behavior he/she ended up on each day. If they move their clothespin, they will complete a yellow slip that lists the rules broken and what they did wrong. Parents keep the small colored square and discuss, sign and return the yellow slip the following school day. If a slip is not returned or remains unsigned, the student will have recess detention until it is received. They student will call the parent if the slip is not received by the third day. Awesome Day (green) Verbal Warning (blue) Time Out (yellow) Loss of Afternoon Rcess (red) Start here
