The rules and consequences for my classroom are determined partially by the school (the first 3 are school-wide) and my grade level team. Here are the rules.
For consequences, we use a color coded card system. The students progress through the colors and there's a consequence tied to each one.
A.C. stands for Alternative Classroom. It's another place where students calm down and process with a counselor before returning to class.
I don't have pictures of my cards, but they're really nothing fancy. Just a pocket chart--I used an old calendar one I had. Each pocket has the 5 card colors listed above and the child's classroom number on it. When the child is told to "pull a card" he or she takes the top color out and puts it into a container. I used to have them move the card to the back of their stack, but found it easier and faster for me to record with things being moved to a container instead.
What are the rules and consequences in your classroom?
I'm hoping this made sense tonight. My head has been spinning all day long. So much to do!

It isn't "classroom" but we got Ethan used to "two Rules" (signified by two fingers) - *listen* and *mind.* Now if he's getting a little crazy, all I have to do is hold up two fingers and ask, "What are the two things?" :)
