Home Folder I have labeled all of the children’s folders with a “H” for home. They are to bring their folder home each day, empty it and then bring it to school everyday. Love and Logic I use the “Love and Logic” in my classroom. Love and Logic® is a method of working with students which was developed by educational expert Jim Fay, child psychiatrist Foster W. Cline, M.D. and Charles Fay, Ph.D. Love and Logic has many tools for educators, principals and districts that promote healthy parent/teacher and teacher/student relationships and positive school wide discipline. Love and Logic helps educators, administrators, and counselors: • Set limits in the classroom without anger • Provide underachievers hope and willingness when the going gets tough • Raise the odds for kids to stay in school • Build strong connections between home and school • Improve attendance • Manage disruptive students • Make teaching and learning more fun and productive • Immediately handle disruptive students • Get and keep students' attention • Build positive student-teacher relationships • Help students own and solve their own problems • Bully proof children, diffuse power struggles, and handle difficult people It works because: • When adults take care of themselves, they hand the problem back to the student who created it. • When the student has to solve the problem, they have to think. • When students have to think, they learn that decisions have consequences. • When students have to deal with consequences, they learn to think. • When we allow the student to deal with the consequences, they learn to think before they cause a problem. When the student learns to ask themselves, "How is my behavior going to affect me?" they have learned self control.
