I am extremely excited to try out Class Dojo with my students this year! On this site, students will take ownership of their behavior and performance in my class.
Throughout the week, students can take pride in receiving points for different "skills" which are listed below. Likewise, points can also be taken off for misbehavior or any other issue that a "skill" has been created for.
Class dojo will be used by me (Sr. Sabrina) to determine which students will go in the prize box every Friday. A minimum of 10 points MUST be received by students throughout the week to get a prize. The points will be reset every Monday.
At the end of the month the student with the MOST points will be awarded student of the month. (I will keep track of the weekly points ;) There will be a tie breaker if needed.
Parents can use Class Dojo to stay in touch with me and to check their child's progress on a more daily/weekly basis. We will still be using this class blog as usual. As of now, I will NOT post pictures of students on our Class Dojo "stories" page. If any parents do NOT want me to post their child's pictures on Class Dojo, please let me know as soon as possible.
