Hop to the Top Behavior Plan

I am excited to be starting a new behavior system in my classroom.  I am starting my tenth year teaching and ready for some fresher ideas.  The past 8 years I have used a frog behavior system, but I am switiching it up a bit copying the clipchart behavior plan. There will be 8 different colored magnetic lily pads on my dry erase board. All the frogs will start out on the green lily pad (ready to learn).  I think positive behavior should be recognized just as much if not more than negative behavior.  So, students will have the chance to hop up to the blue lily pad (Good Job!), the purple lily pad (Great Job!!), and the gold lily pad (outstanding!!!).  Students that are not making good chocies in the classroom will hop their frog to yellow (slow down), orange (think about it), and red (parent contact).  Below you can find my behavior plan that i give out to the parents at the beginning of the year.  I have also added my titles for the color lily pads.
