School Rules For Cool Cats…

The Cool Cats use a simple behavior system using Green Choices (thumbs up) and Red Choices (thumbs down). This system is easy to use to encourage good behavior and discourage bad behaviors.  We cover examples of Green and Red Choices the first part of the year with visual cards.   Green choices include behaviors like looking at the teacher, sitting quietly, helping others, putting away toys, sharing, using kind words, following directions, and waiting.  Red Choices include behaviors like taking all the toys, coloring on furniture, using mean words, making someone sad, pushing, laying on the floor during circle, and invading other’s space.   After several warnings of Red Choices, a student may need to be removed from the classroom for a short time.  Our goal with this system is to create a respectful community of preschoolers and teachers who can follow directions and treat each other with kindness.
