Each student is issued a credit card at the beginning of the year.  Each day the students receive "hole punches", provided they keep their card the entire day.  Once the credit card is "full" they then go in the "prize bucket" and "deposit" the card in a fish bowl and receive a TLC! buck.  They also "deposit" a marble in the "marble jar".  When the "marble jar" is full, we have a "marble party".  TLC! bucks are used to make purchases at our "TLC! Mini Mall".  Positive behavior is ALWAYS acknowledged in the classroom.  Students are given appreciation for following directions, staying on task, and helping out.  Other rewards are given as well.

Students sign automatically for those offences noted below.  Other minor offences as listed below must be signed for after one warning.  Other consequences are as noted.  Only behavior issues count toward the 3rd offence that leads to in-class isolation.
