Brag tags are an incentive tag that your child can earn for positive behavior and choices that he/she makes during the school day. The tags are placed on a necklace that is kept at school and brought home at the end of the school year. Brag tags are not meant to be taken home daily.
Brag tags are earned when the teacher notices a choice or behavior that is done by a student that exceeds expectations. Brag tags can be earned for many things. Some of these may include: 100% on the weekly packet test, helping others in the classroom, or simply being a good listener. I strongly believe in positive reinforcement as a tool to help encourage and motivate good choices and hard work in my classroom every day.
I use a behavior ladder in my classroom. Each student begins the day on green. Throughout the day, they have the opportunity to move up and down the ladder. Here is what to expect!
