  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!)
I suggest rewarding more of the positive behaviors that students exhibit in your classroom. Also, remember not to yell at the students because they may not respond well to it. Set up a rewards system to use in the class with your students. Reward their good behavior with lunch with the teacher, recess, or camp reading day.

Also, if there are certain students that continue the hands on behavior, then I would hold parent-teacher conferences with the parents of those students. I would discuss my concern with the parents in an appropriate way.
