Behavioral Curriculum


My beilef in a classroom is care. I believe in caring for students as people, not just as students. 


My one rule would be discipline. It is important for not only the teacher, but they needed to be disciplined for themselves to hold themselves accountable in life. \


A one day schedule for my class (kindegarteners) would look like this:


8:00: English (Reading and wiritng)


     8:00: Reading a personal book


     8:15: classroom instruction


     8:55: Put away english materials and take out math materials


9:00: Mathematics


     9:00: classroom instruction


     9:30: group work


9:45: Snack


     9:45: wash hands and take out snacks


     9:50: snacks


10:00: Science 


     10:00: take out supplies


     10:05: instruction


     10:35: lab


11:00: Dance + P.E. (switch every other day)\


     11:00: locker rooms


     11:10: P.E. instruction


     11:50: locker rooms


12:00: Lunch/recess 


     12:00: Lunch


     12:40: Recess


     12:55: Go to classroom


1:00: Computers/Technology + Art (switch every other day)


     1:00: Go to art/technology room


     1:10: instruction


     1:50: go back to regular classroom


2:00: Social Studies


     2:00: take out supplies


     2:45: Pack up


     2:50: Go to busses


3:00: Go home 


They would be expected to eat breakfast at home. I have never heard until now of eating breakfast at school. 


As a procedure I would have the students get a book and go to their assigned reading spot in the classroom for the first 15 minutes of class while everyone arrived. 


Top 10 Procedures:


1. Classroom library


2. Fire drill


3. Lining up


4. Getting into work groups


5. Pledge


6. Lunch count/ Attendance


7. Throwing away trash


8. Using the school bathroom


9. Using the drinking fountain or sink


10. Using the pencil sharpener


I would use a star chart for positive reinforcement.


To correct behavior, I would use a card chart. There would be 4 levels: green, yellow, orange, and red. The latter colors would mean bad behavior. The automatically start with green. Yellow is a warning. Orange is a call home. Red is meeting with the principal or parents come in.


Crisis plan: Send student to the principal's office immediately escorted by a faculty member. 


To implement this, I would use posters and have students sign a contract.

Unit Plan

  Unit Topic: expressing emotion through movement 1. We can have the children make a movement that represents a certain emotion we tell them.  2. Each day of the week can be dedicated to a different emotion: happy, sad, angry, excited, suprised, nervous.  3. The students will have to create a dance in groups that conveys an emotion they choose, and the rest of the class would have to guess what emotion they are trying to portray.  The easiest skill would be how to express emotion through facial expressions, and expressing through their body movement would be harder. It also might be easier to convey happiness than suprised for example. We can start with teaching basic emotions and move into more complex emotions.  We can incorporate dance by teaching a sad ballet dance or watching a video of an angry hip hop dance.  We are teaching young children how to show their emotions in dance.  They will learn how to associate their feelings through movement...
