This is an excel file that can be used to create weekly reports for parents about a child's behavior. It corresponds with my numbers that I use for my classroom management. All numbers are given a price to use with the classroom economy. The excel file is created so that you use a drop down menu to choose from behavior infractions. It makes it easier to show parents exactly how their child's week goes. The drop down menu can be edited, as well as the prices. If you have any questions about how t
