We developed a stop light system where each child started out on green each Monday. The goal was to stay on green for the entire week. At the end of the week those children got to put a tick by their name on a separate name chart. At the end of the term, those children that had 8 out of 12.
We had 16 children that earned their way to the trip! We are really proud of them and hope they will keep it up next year!
You would think 8 out of 12 would be pretty simple to achieve. However, we have quite a number of behavior challenges at Vision of Destiny. I believe this is largely due to the environment from which the children come. However, I also believe that the school can play a part in creating a change in the behavior of the children attending the school.
Plus it gave us a change to reward the children who are consistent in exhibiting good behavior. So many times in most schools these children seem to get less attention than those that are always misbehaving. It was a great way for the teachers to get to spend some extra time praising these children!
Here are some photos of the children as they walked through the zoo. Sorry not many photos of the animals, but it's all about the kids anyway.
