This year I will be using a web-based program called Class Dojo to help track students’ behavior. It is an excellent communication tool to help keep parents updated about their child’s behavior.
I will pay students classroom money to spend for doing thier class job every day. They will be awarded extra money when they display great effort, kindness, perseverance, etc. They will also be fined for not following the classroom rules. They will be able to use their earnings to buy coupons for special privileges in the classroom.
A great feature of Class Dojo is the ability for me to send messages to parents and for you to message me. I will be posting my classroom newsletter, as well as other important information on our class story.
