This week I started the positive reward system with Sammy. This system is not like a behavior management plan because it is only here to reward her not to punish her. I explained to Sammy that every time she participates with her thought in our small groups she will receive a sticker. She can also receive stickers if she communicates in any other small group or in any other way verbally. When she has received 3 stickers in one day she can move up to blue on the chart. That way she will feel proud of her self for talking during class. I explained that I love her voice and want to hear her thoughts verbally.
On the first day of the new system she kind of spoke during our reading small group where she is in the safe zone. But one the second day, Sammy minimally spoke on three different occasions which is a huge accomplishment. On this day I allowed her to move to blue because I was so proud of her. She has come so far, from not speaking at all.
