I only choose 2 to 3 behaviors to work on at a time. Too many and they can't focus on improving!
Behaviors I've listed are "Sitting appropriately at the carpet, Keep hands to self, Keep area cleaned up, Using nice words to others, Being a good friend, Staying dry, Line up correctly etc." I keep all the behaviors positive.
I made these sheets full size because I use a function on my copier to make booklets. Check with your office people to see if you have this function. This will reduce the size to half, fold the pages in half and staple it.
I run off one to two weeks at a time. This gives me the option to update the behaviors if they succeeded in one or need a different behavior to work on.
I do not reward the children based on the behavior. I talk with them daily about their behavior. I leave it up to the parents to decide if they are going to reward. This tool works great to communicate with the parents. We are able to write notes back and forth to each other and the students know that we talk.
I save all these booklets and use them at conferences or share them with the special ed department if I refer.

Hope you had a fabulous Christmas! Enjoy the rest of your vacation and have a Happy New Year!
I really like this idea. I have one child who just can't get it together with our class behavior plan and he needs something of his own. I've been looking around for new ideas, since mine all seem to bomb. I will definitely have to give this a shot and see what happens. Thanks!

Good luck - I know it can be a challenge but I have found that the kids like these booklets.
