Summary:
Motivate your students to improve their classroom conduct with this eye catching visual aide for the classroom! Each clothespin features a student's name. Start the day off with everyone on the green light. Throughout the day, if necessary, move their name to the yellow light as a warning, and to the red light for misbehaving. Then they can work their way back up again with improved behavior. As an additional motivator, give them a prize for staying on the green light all day or all week!

Then with the mechanical pencil, trace the Westcott LetterCraft Stencil Lettering to create the words for the top. Feel free to customize the name of this motivational stoplight to suit your classroom.
