In Japanese, the word "dojo" means place of the way. Yesterday, I began to use Class Dojo as an additional behavior management tool. Our classroom will be the place of the positive way in rewarding adherence to our classroom expectations. As a reminder, they are:
- Bullying
- Disrespect
- Off task
- Not seated
- Talking out of turn
- 3-5 points: 2 Bucket Bucks
- 5-7 points: Positive Parent Call Home
For children who earn 7-10 points, they can enjoy one of these rewards:
The Class Dojo software even has reports that can be generated that would show you how the points were allocated (or deducted). I will work on parent access after we get past Open House and Progress Reports.
I am excited!
Fondly,
Mrs. Caronna
