Behavior Bulletin Board

This is my behavior bulletin board. In the past, I would just write names on the board and then put tally marks beside that. I really wanted something more visual, and I finally found it. Each student has a car. As long as they behave, the car stays on the track. When they first break a rule, they enter the "caution area" on the left. Laps 1-4 are for "warnings." I think 4 warnings is a fair amount for a Kindergartener. After that, they enter the "stop area." First, they receive a "pit stop" or timeout - 1 minute per year of age. If they still can't get their behavior back on track, they must go to the garage to "repairs" on their behavior. This would constitute an extended time-out or total loss of privilege.
