Discipline Guidelines for Kindergarten

This note will explain the discipline guidelines in Kindergarten for the upcoming year, which will begin on Monday. I use two methods: Positive Reinforcement and 1 2 3 Magic.

Positive Reinforcement: Each child receives either a chart or a shape to correspond with the season to keep at their seat. When Mrs. Vulcan or I see a child listening and following directions they receive a sticker or may color in a box. When the child has received 20 stickers or colored in 20 boxes, they will have a prize of some type. For September, I will let the students purchase snack on any day they choose. October will be Halloween pencils. So each month the prize will be different.

1 2 3 Magic: This is a program that really seems to work like Magic! Sister Dorita, our Spiritual Counselor, has the book and DVD on the 1 2 3 Magic program available for parents to checkout if you are interested in using the program at home. Each child will have a stick in the stoplight. The program involves 3 opportunities to listen and follow directions. After 3 reminders/prompts the child will move his/her stick on the stoplight from green to yellow. After 3 more reminders/prompts the stick will move to red. This will be reflected in the daily communicator that comes home each day for you to review and sign.
