Today our class got to have pajama day as a reward for reaching our first 25 coin PBIS goal! Go River Keepers!!What is PBIS you ask? This is our school's Positive Behavior Intervention System. We have spent the year thus far talking about "Respect Yourself", "Respect Others", and "Respect Your School". Each area of our school has different ways that we do this. Whenever you get caught doing a good job by another teacher you can earn a coin. For every 25 coins you earn a little reward!
At the beginning of the year we looked at each area of our school: hallways, bathrooms, classrooms, and the playground. We talked about how we respect ourselves, others, and our school in those areas.
Yesterday we earned our 25th coin. I am pretty impressed that our class earned 25 already and it is only day 22! We made a list of little fun things that the children would like to do for a reward. We voted and Pj day won! Who doesn't love a good Pj day? We saved our list so we will have some things to pick from for next time we earn one, which will hopefully be soon! We already have a new coin today :)
This system is a great way for our children to learn how to behave and follow rules and also to learn about respect. I find myself asking them daily "Is that respectful" or "How do we respect each other" and it is a great reminder of how we should be treating each other and our school!
