Owl Behavior Clip Chart System

I know I know, I have an owl obsession!  There is just something about themes and those cute little owls that are so exciting to me.  I love when everything matches and flows together.  This OWL-standing Behavior System, came from my desire to give the students a visual of the choices they were making.  Then I figured if they could SEE that they were headed in a downward spiral, they would have more of a chance to change their behavior for the better.  After much research and years of card charts, stop lights, treasure chests and more, I landed on this clip chart idea.  I loved so much how it gave the students plenty of visuals and opportunity to be responsible for their own behavior and choices.

OWL-standing Behavior Clip Chart (2 color options), Parent Letter, Student Behavior Log, Owl Themed Punch Cards, Reward Binder Cover and over 25 Reward Insert Pages!

Since I have an owl obsession, I adapted the clip chart to an owl theme and created an Owl Themed Rewards Binder.  The rewards binder is full of fun “experiences” rather than things.  From “Whooo’s Desk is it Anyway?(Trade desks with a friend for a day) to “Owl Just Pass”(Get a free pass for no homework) students will get a hoot (couldn’t resist) out of the fun wording and rewards they can earn.  Meanwhile, I just loved not having to buy any little trinkets for a treasure chest or handing out candy as rewards.  The students get punches on their owl themed punch cards and save them up to purchase the Owl Rewards that they want.

All you need to start off your OWL-Standing year!

So I screamed today!  Yes out loud!  I think I scared my husband a little bit.  I was scrolling through the top 100 products on Teachers Pay Teachers for the week, and imagine my surprise and delight when I saw my Owl Themed Classroom in the top 100 list!!  AAAHHHHHHH!!  There I go again.

The Top 100 Products!

My husband was quick to point out that it’s in the PreK-2 category which is one of the most competitive areas (LOVE that guy!).

So of course I had to take a few screen shots to document this amazing day!  God is GOOD!

There I am, #88!

I looked at this screen for several minutes.  Top Sellers on all sides of MY Owl Unit!  (If you are a TpT Seller you will KNOW what I’m talkin’ about.)

So Ok. Enough about that.  I thought, under the circumstances, that today would be the perfect day to share about my Owl Unit.  It really has been one of my favorites to make so far, and the CA-UTE little Owl clip art is to die for.

My awesome friend Angie, from Teach and Re-Teach, is going back to teaching Pre-K and K this year at a fun little school by Seattle.  She has two little ones of her own, and is busy busy busy, but still wanted to have a fun, cute owl theme in her classroom this year.  She gave me a few of her ideas of clip arts she liked and a few things she wanted included in the packet.  After I saw the amazing clip art, I was inspired and took off with creating this Owl Theme Classroom.
