A rule that the school has for disciplining is to have a chart with 4 different sections and clothespins with each student's name. The top section is where all the clothespins start. If the student is misbehaving they are told to go clip down. That acts as their first warning. If they continue to misbehave they are to clip down again. This time their punishment is losing 20 seconds of recess. If they still continue to misbehave and have to clip down yet a third time their parents are called.
One of the classroom rules is to listen to the teacher when she is talking. To get the students attention she has several phrases that she'll say and the students will respond with the appropriate phrase and turn to look at her.
I have noticed that one of the students does appropriate behavior just to get the reward involved. If there is no reward he won't be on task. But the other students seem to try to pay attention because they want to be good.
