  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 agree with many of the other solutions. The use of positive reinforcement and praise does tend to do better than consequences. I would not do away with consequences, but just add positive reinforcement.
