You could always make a clothes line and put faces in different colors and hang them with clothes pin…make the child hang them…sometimes once is enough of an impact especially when the rest of the class is watching them.

Best of luck and thanks for helping shape the minds of our future.

From minor to major (or multiple) infraction(s):

Verbal warning/reminder, sit and think chair, write a “think about it” note home, loose privilege (i.e. 5 minutes recess, loss of classroom job for the day, or whatever), call mom/dad to confess, office visit, and so on. Whatever you think will motivate students to do the right thing. I really liked using the hierarchy systems because the students always knew what would happen if they did not follow a rule or what would happen next if the inappropriate behavior continued. If you think about it, what does “red” mean? It is very clear to a child what “loose 5 minutes of recess” means.

Be sure to reward appropriate behavior too. You will have more kids wanting a sticker than wanting a chance to sit in the “stop and think” chair.

DEFCON 5 Normal peacetime readiness

DEFCON 4 Normal, increased intelligence and strengthened security measures

DEFCON 3 Increase in force readiness above normal readiness

DEFCON 2 Further Increase in force readiness, but less than maximum readiness

DEFCON 1 Maximum force readiness.

I think you can apply as needed. Hope this helps you think of a better idea. Good Luck.

A wise teacher once said, “the resentment and humiliation this causes lasts anywhere from three seconds to a lifetime”

I suggest focusing more on being proactive…stopping behavior problems before they occur…

In other words, the best classroom management plan is a strong instructional plan.

Use teaching strategies that keep all your students actively involved in all of your lessons…if you can decrease student boredom, decrease student confusion, and increase class participation you wont need to resort to these elaborate systems.
