Music Room Behavior Chart

I needed a way to accurately record behavior in my classroom. 

My Challenge:
Since I see the students only once a week, there is no time to waste in class.  If there was a behavior issue, I would have to stop and discuss with that individual student. That takes a lot of time.  I was also looking for a way to motivate the students to participate.

Solution:
With this system I will direct the student to put their name on a "sticky note", then place it on the appropriate sign.  At the end of class, I will know what needs to be recorded in the classes behavior binder.  And, students that choose to try harder will have a positive incentive.

Behavior Chart:
I went with a music theme, Rockin' Music Time.  Each of the cards has a music reference.

Outstanding =  If a student reaches the top chart, they are allowed to fill out a reward ticket to be placed in a drawing for a prize at the end of the month.

Super = First step to greatness!

Ready = Everyone starts here at the beginning of class.

Think About It! =  This is a 1st warning level.  They will  need to make smarter choices.

OOPS! = They did not make a smart choice.  Now it is the Teacher's Choice for consequences.

All I have left to do is punch holes to add rings and hang it from the wall.

New Year!....Egg-in-a-hole!

I fixed Nathan's favorite breakfast today! Egg-in-a-hole! Lots of butter, fresh bread and an egg. And don't forget to toast up the little left-over hole! They make great mini toast.

1. Spray a non-stick skillet and heat to medium or med/high heat.
2. Cut a hole in the center of your favorite kind of bread. (I use an old plastic medicine measuring cup.)
3. Place the bread in the skillet and put a pad of butter in the hole. When the butter begins to melt, move the bread around to start soaking up the butter on the bottom.
4. Break an egg in the hole. When the egg begins to firm on the bottom, flip and then cook to desired firmness.....over easy, medium or hard. My family likes the soft/over easy yoke, because it soaks into the toast and tastes so buttery!
5. You might need to add more butter once it is flipped. Just place small dabs near the edge, or lift up the edge and place them underneath. Don't over cook!
