Our Clip Chart

This is the clip chart that I used last year with my class and I LOVE the way the students responded to it. I will continue to use it this year.  With the clip chart students are rewarded for good behavior and move clip up. When bad choices are made the clip is moved down.  I have made it my rule that once students get to orange or red they are not allowed to move up. This rule came about from my previous experience with giving students a chance to move back to super star if behavior improved but most of my students who moved to red quickly figured out how to play "move my clip up and down the red light" game.  Click this link for an ebook about the clip chart. I have tweaked it to work for my room and am loving the results.  Students who get on OUTSTANDING get a special shiny star to put on their good behavior chart (any student on or above ready to learn gets a sticker but OUTSTANDING get special stickers).  When a student gets 5 star stickers then he/she is able to choose free computer or free iPad time and they also get their picture on the blog.
