Discipline Plan

 

Mrs. Colvin’s 2024-2025 2nd Grade Discipline Plan

Philosophy: 
It is my goal as a professional educator to provide a positive, safe environment along with a developmentally appropriate learning environment to our students. Students will be given opportunities to communicate with their peers throughout the day, as I believe children can learn from one another. I will provide hands-on activities for students to engage in daily. Any disruptive behavior that infringes on another student’s right to learn, or my right to teach, will not be tolerated. 

Classroom Rules and Expectations:

  • Be prepared for class and ready to learn.

  • Show RISE behavior. 

  • Be respectful of yourself, others, and your environment. 

  • Have fun learning. 

  • Raise your hand. 

(Student will also adhere to the Autauga County Board of Education Code of Conduct Handbook)

Classroom Behavior Plan:

I believe that students who behave and follow rules and expectations should be rewarded. If a student does follow the rules and expectations, he/she will have the opportunity to participate in Fun Friday Activities. Fun Friday activities include but are not limited to games, free time, online game applications (Prodigy), etc. 

Consequences:

I will be using check marks to document behavior. The document that I use allows me to note any misconduct that occurs each day during the semester. The check marks correspond with my classroom rules and expectations.

Verbal Warning

1 Checkmark
