S.T.A.R. Behavior Calendar & Liebster Award

A few of my earlier posts have been about my S.T.A.R. behavior system.  I also incorporate this with my students' "take home" folders.  (I just call them their "STAR folders".)  I've created a Behavior Calendar that the kids color at the end of each day to record the color they landed on the Clip Chart.  On the calendar, I include all of the school-wide events (i.e. PT Conferences, breaks, etc.).  I attach calendars, for the entire year, into their STAR folders and tear them out after each month.  Visit my TpT store to download this product, which is included in my S.T.A.R. Behavior packet!
