  Case: Keep your hands, feet, and objects to yourself!
Everyday, I am constantly reinforcing this rule to my 1st grade students; KEEP YOUR HANDS, FEET, AND OBJECTS TO YOURSELF. Lately more students are putting their hands on one another be it pushing and shoving in line or hitting someone on the carpet. I have a clip system in which the students would have to move their clips down (with the chance to move back up), as well as class dojo in which the students will loose points or have their points erased all together. These tools seem to not be working as much as I would like them to. What do you all suggest?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Positive reinforcement seems to work better than consequences. In addition to the Class Dojo and the point system, I select a student of the day by using the class tools website. This website has a digital wheel which has different segments where each students' name can be entered. Only students who moved their color up get their name on the wheel. At the end of the day the wheel is rotated by the click of a button and a student is selected. The student of the day then receives their reward of choice which is visit to the library, extended recess time, no morning work, home work pass etc. This system seems very popular with the students as their receive immediate gratification. And they also like the element of surprise and the fact that they are recognized by their peers.
