Popsicle Stick Behavior Trick

Hi!  I'm linking up with "Owl-ways Be Inspired" for their "Show Us How You Use It" linky party!  This week's items are craft sticks!  My post is short and sweet!  You may have seen my behavior management posts here and here, which detail how I use a traveling behavior clip system in my classroom.  Well, sometimes you have a few kids who just need what feels like 9,000 a few extra warnings....and for that, I use a large Popsicle stick.  I color the stick green, as that's where all of the students begin their days.  I divide the stick into 3 parts and label each with a 1,2,3.  I put the student's name on a clothespin.  Anytime I have to give a warning, the student moves his/her clip on the stick.  Once they hit the 3, they know that the next time, they'll be going to the "regular" stick to move their clip down.  These minis serve as great visual reminders for students that especially need them.  They keep the sticks on their desks and are able to monitor their own behavior.  Easy-peasy!
