Leo's Point System Adventure

create this social story with pictures: My Point System I Am Learning New Things Every Day Everyone learns in their own way, and everyone has strengths. At school, I work hard, learn new skills, solve problems, make choices, and practice being part of my classroom community. Sometimes things feel easy, and sometimes things feel tricky. That is okay. My teachers and family know that learning and growing takes practice. My Point System Helps Me Notice My Successes At school, I can earn points throughout the day. Points help adults notice all the good choices, efforts, and skills I show during my day. Points are not about being perfect. Points are a way to celebrate my successes. Every point I earn belongs to me. Once I earn a point, I keep it. How Do I Earn Points? I can earn points in different ways. 1. Staying on Task I can earn a point when I: Start my work Keep working on an activity Follow classroom routines Focus on what I am doing 2. Showing Kindness I can earn a point when I: Use kind words Help others Share Include classmates Respect other people's space 3. Doing What I Am Asked To Do I can earn two points when I: Follow a teacher's direction Complete a task I am asked to do Try something that is expected of me Make a safe choice when an adult asks 4. Making Other Good Choices I can earn a point when I: Help somebody Solve a problem Show responsibility Use a strategy when something feels hard Try my best Make a safe choice There are lots of ways to make good choices every day! What Happens When I Earn A Point? When an adult sees me meeting one of my goals, they will: ✅ Tell me what I did well ✅ Give me my point ✅ Record my point For example, they might say: "You got started right away. You earned a point for staying on task." "That was very kind. You earned a point for showing kindness." "You followed that direction. You earned two points." This helps me know exactly what I did. Can I Ask For Points? My teachers and school team are watching for my successes throughout the day. When they see me meeting one of my goals, they will give me points and tell me what I did well. I do not need to ask for points. My job is to focus on learning, trying my best, and making choices that help me earn points. If I think I did something great, I can feel proud of myself and keep going. Sometimes adults may not be able to give a point right away because they are busy helping other students. That is okay. They will keep noticing my successes. I can trust that the adults on my team are paying attention and looking for opportunities to celebrate my hard work. ✅ I focus on my goals. ✅ My teachers look for my successes. ✅ My points will be recorded. ✅ I do not need to ask for points. Remember My points are not something I need to remind adults about. Adults decide when points are earned. If I ask for a point, an adult may say: "Keep focusing on your goals. We are watching for your successes." When I stay focused on my goals instead of asking for points, I have more opportunities to earn them. I Can Earn Points Anywhere I can earn points: In my classroom At recess In the gym In the library On the bus During school activities My school team will help keep track of my points throughout the day. At The End Of The Day At the end of the day, I will bring my point sheet home. I can show my family how many points I earned. We can celebrate my hard work and successes together. Using My Points My family and I have a reward menu. Different rewards cost different amounts of points. I can choose to: Use my points right away Save my points Keep collecting points for a bigger reward Saving points is my choice. What If I Have A Difficult Day? Everyone has difficult moments sometimes. Kids do. Teachers do. Adults do. Having a difficult moment does not take away the points I already earned. I can always earn more points when I am ready. Every day is a new day. Every moment is a new opportunity. What Is Most Important? I do not need to be perfect. I am learning. I am growing. I am practicing new skills every day. My school team and family are here to help me succeed. I can make choices. I can learn from mistakes. I can earn points.
