New School Year

This year has presented many challenges for me.  New classroom, new principal, new schedule.  The schedule has been a big adjustment.  I teach 12 classes back to back everyday...Needless to say, the art room can get a little crazy with this schedule.  Behavior has been an issue with my classes like never before.  This may be because of the class combination, or my sudden lack for enthusiasm for yet another class coming into the revolving door of the art room (sigh)!  I have worked out a system, after much research from other blogs, that might work for me.

I wear behavior cards on my apron so my students know where they stand!

At the end of each class I put either green, yellow, or red beside the class for each day they are in art.
If they have a majority of green days they earn an art reward day!
