Lawton Laws:
At Lawton Chiles, we expect all of our students to abide by the Lawton Laws.  The following discipline plans center around the Lawton Laws. 

Lawton

Cooperate Hands and feet to yourself I will show respect Listen and follow directions Each of us will take pride in our school Safety first

Laws

Sweets Jar:
I encourage sweetness by allowing students to put a “sweet’ (candy) in the “Sweets Jar.” When the candy reaches the top of the jar, the children celebrate by splitting the contents!

“I Got Caught” Stickers:
If I see any of the children behaving especially well, I will distribute “I Got Caught Doing Good” stickers. Each child who receives one of these stickers will be eligible for a school-wide prize giveaway during the “Meaningful Monday” Chiles celebration.

Flip Chart:
As an individual incentive for creating and encouraging role models in our classroom, we use a flip chart that consists of three colored cards for each student. When I see individual children exemplifying positive behavior, they are asked to “flip their card” to the next color. When they reach the third card (the “sticker card,”) they receive a new sticker on their card and an “I Got Caught” slip (see above). When they reach ten stars, they can choose between lunch with the teacher and choosing a prize from the treasure box.

Shining Star:
Each week, one child from each first grade classroom receives the “Shining Star” award. This child is recognized during Friday’s assembly.

Parents: This is a special award given to only one student in each class per week, so when you see your child with this award, please encourage the excellent behavior!
