The main consequence is not receiving a super stamper at the end of class! However, if students are being disrespectful towards me or another student, I take away their project and they have to write me or the other student an apology letter (This is extremely effective!) If the students are disrespecting materials, I take away their project and the materials, and they have to sit quietly for the rest of class since they obviously cannot handle the supplies properly! If a student's behavior is becoming extremely distracting and/or dangerous, I will call the principal and send the student to the office. And as a last resort, I will send a note home or call a parent/guardian! I will try to film the classroom management after Thanksgiving break :) Thanks for watching!
+Colorful Creators What if the class lands on Teacher's Choice and you tell them that they are going to have to be silent the next day of art class and it only fuels them to be noisier in talking more or let it out in other ways ? By the way I like your handwriting . It matches your beautiful profile picture , Ms. Jordan Caplan !! - Dwight
Hi Dwight! Thank you! That has yet to happen since the kids typically are motivated to alter their behavior; however, if that is the case then it would be time to resort to individual consequences. Perhaps a strike system. If you have to talk to a student 3 times due to them not cooperating, then they get a call home or a trip to the principal's office, which is not something they want to do!
Ahhh yes moralizing kids behavior instead of understanding it as communication, great way to have little people pleasers...this is so funny becoming a teacher so you can control children
Sounds like you're familiar with neurodivergent kids, and/or are familiar with Dr. Ross Greene's methods. I definitely don't like this kind of "behaviorism" as it is based upon compliance based goals, taking away a child's right to say "no", and kills intrinsic motivation. If a student is having problems, I would rather check in with them individually, often with a simple "are you ok?" Or "something sounds off, what's up?" rather than punishing behavior that is communicating a need. I'd rather treat my kids like the people they are, than how Caesar Milan treats his dogs (which has been proven to be literally dangerous). Kids do well when they can. When they are not doing well, there is a very good reason for it.
Where did you get the giant crayons? Or did you make them? Amazing
What are the individual punishments?
And id love the additional video!

In terms of punishments, your individual ones make sense. Are these repeat offenders for behavior still joining in on the teacher’s choice days?
Did you make the large crayons and crayon box?
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
You don't teach k-5? Only K-2?

You're welcome Ms. Jordan Caplan !!
yeah I don't do as a class good students shouldn't be punished for bad behaved students.
