Clip Charts

I absolutely love the clip chart behavior system.


I am going to also be using it in my after school program as well. Since I mainly focus on science themes, I figure that my charts should be science related, well I came across this fabulous one with frogs!  Well that is a given!  I got this from Over The Moonbow

The other once I wanted to have science related clip-art from Thistle Girl Graphics.  I have recently seen many creative ideas for "theming" them up.


So I need to "theme-up" one for science.

outstanding               (super scientist)

great job                    

good day                     (Science Fair)

ready to learn             (Scientist ready) 

think about it             (Analyze your data)

teacher choice 

parent contact       (Report Your Data)

Yeah, I am so not happy with those, they aren't really good.  So here's the deal, if  you could help me figure out some awesome science words for my clip-chart, I will share it when it is done. :)

NowI have been thinking and cleaning... and *POP*  what about if I use the Muppets! Namely Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker!! I collect Muppet Figures, so I can have them there too :)  There is a new Muppet movie coming out, so that is  awesome!!!!!

Clip chart

We use the clip chart in our classroom.

We also have a rainbow square carpet in the room.  It has red, green, purple, and blue.

I made a seating chart in Word and hung it on the wall.

Anyways, I try to acknowledge great behavior by calling the children who are on the top of the chart. So I glance at the clip chart and say "If you are on yellow" you may line up. All of the children immediately whip their heads to see who is on yellow. One bright child says we don't have yellow." We all giggle and say "You are ON yellow." She told us she was thinking about the carpet color.  We were all laughing. :) In her defense, She was very close to me, so maybe I was blocking her way :)
