Every day I secretly and randomly pick a "stellar student." I keep an extra close eye on this particular child and watch to see if they are being stellar. If they make it through the day meeting all classroom expectations, they are rewarded! If they happen to be having a bad day, I simply tell the class, "the stellar student didn't make it today, but tomorrow will be a better day!" I never call out a student who was having a bad day. If kids ask if it was them the day the stellar student wasn't being particularly stellar I ask them to reflect on their behavior. "Were you having a stellar day? You were?! Awesome! Keep it up! " "Today wasn't your best day? What can we do together to make sure tomorrow is a better day?" Stellar students are expected to... Show respect, responsibility, and integrity at all times. • Follow directions the first time given. • Complete all assignments to their best ability. • Always be at their very BEST. Key to my behavior management system and to being a stellar student are my classroom rules and "Think before you speak." both shown below. We do many activities surrounding these posters at the beginning of the year to ensure students have a firm understanding of expectations.
