I introduced it to the class yesterday and I have already had students ask for ideas on how they could earn a star. I am having trouble coming up improvements regarding behavior for those "always good" students. I know once we get more into academics it will be easier, but I need a few extra ideas now. I would appreciate any ideas from those who have already done it.

I was intrigued by your Class, Yes! ideas. I looked up the ideas and fell in love with it. My biggest concern was if my students were to old, but thought it was worth a try this year as last year I struggled with classroom management. So, I set out to do it. I am also using the clip chart for behavior and wondered how to incorporate the SIW with that. I agree with Kate and thought to use the SIW for ways similar to hers. I liked the idea of focusing the clip chart more on behavior and the SIW on other things like test, working harder in group work, walking correctly in the hall way, or maybe a teaching saying how well a particular student has improved in a special class. I loved this and thought that I would work towards splitting it up into two semesters and having a Super Improvers celebration at the end of the first semester. This will kick it up for other students to want to work towards that goal the following semester. Just some thoughts and ideas. <br /><br />Rachelle<br /><a href="http://teacherontheloose.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Teacher on the LOOSE!</a>Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09750971093771916937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654028430423642864.post-35563075167612866092012-07-27T02:38:44.862-06:002012-07-27T02:38:44.862-06:00Thanks for posting this great idea!!

I was thinking that students who make it to the top level of the clip chart can get an automatic star on the SIW... but... I don't want this all to be classroom management overkill! Still have some thinking to do :)<br /><br />Kate<br /><i><b><a href="http://edukateandinspire.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">EduKate and Inspire</a></b></i>Kate @ EduKate and Inspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649621462275576220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654028430423642864.post-80120134077450510002012-07-26T15:55:59.802-06:002012-07-26T15:55:59.802-06:00Just watched the video and got a lot more details ...Just watched the video and got a lot more details about the SIW. This could definitely be useful in my classroom. I really like that it doesn't have to be the same thing for theWhole year . You can set the goal for the day and watch the students strive to beat their previous record. Hallway behavior will definitely be a goal, scores on spelling tests, Pre test and post test scores for our math tests, and maybe a personal goal each student sets could be all things I focus on throughout the year. School starts in 3 weeks. I've gotta get on the ball of watching the wbt videos. They've been on my to do list all summer! Stephanie, can you possibly make a suggestion on how to do this without all the colors? My class colors are blue, mint green, and brown and I'm trying to stick with the HET model where you do earth tones and not a lot of stuff on the wall. How can I mesh both?Tarezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597422830488183378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654028430423642864.post-14985991969639846452012-07-26T13:29:52.142-06:002012-07-26T13:29:52.142-06:00I plan on using the SIW and the clip chart next ye...I plan on using the SIW and the clip chart next year. I think I will look for improvements and give stickers out for the wall for improvements I see. If I see a child making a poor choice I will use the clip chart.

Students who follow directions, assist others, participate in class, doing something unexpectedly kind, etc.....move up the clip chart to the top. When students make a goal, they get a star. I like the idea of using a punch card since my wall space is limited, but I still want to have the "hall of fame board." Perhaps it is just a frame color change around their picture. I also do trimester drawings for prizes, so I would let the students put their completed punch card into the drawing. The only challenge I see is that I might need more levels to move through, because I could see the kids totally buying into this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592899316141569404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654028430423642864.post-25611826266634024792012-07-26T09:09:26.084-06:002012-07-26T09:09:26.084-06:00I really liked the idea of levels and moving up th...I really liked the idea of levels and moving up the different levels- I think that's such a great way to keep kids motivated to keep trying all year long :)<br /><br />~StephanieStephanie @ 3rd Grade Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005689559530304754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654028430423642864.post-70185059124720830352012-07-26T08:50:30.872-06:002012-07-26T08:50:30.872-06:00This will be on my new classroom website when I st...This will be on my new classroom website when I stop hating WordPress. =)<br /><br />http://connect.pasco.k12.fl.us/ebuckler/important-info/behavior/Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708107642006764778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654028430423642864.post-5793674654992677572012-07-26T08:48:01.631-06:002012-07-26T08:48:01.631-06:00Thanks for the font link! =)

At the end of day, students who are still on the "good day" parts of the clip chart get star cards punched. They can also earn a star punch for doing something awesome. This year, I'm simply going to have 10 colors and they can earn these colors/levels each time they finish a star card and put it up on the wall. I was already doing half of the Super Improvers and didn't even know it! =)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.secondgradesilliness.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Emily @ Second Grade Silliness</a> Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708107642006764778noreply@blogger.com
