Class Dojo



This year we will be using the Class Dojo application for classroom behavior management. 

This is a website where we can keep track of BOTH good behavior and poor behavior choices throughout the day.

At the end of the day, we will record the positive percentage each student earned for their overall day. 

All students start out with 0 points each morning.

Example of a day:
-Bob is staying on-task, he earns a point. Total: 1
-Bob completed his homework, he earns a point. Total: 2
-Bob is talking to a neighbor, he loses a point. Total: 1
-Bob isn't following hallway procedure, he loses a point. Total: 0
-Bob is helping his friend, he earns a point.  Total: 1
-Bob is polite, he earns a point.  Total: 2
*Bob ends the day with a 67% (Ready to Learn)

At the end of the day, the percentage will be documented.  We will follow this format:
Super Star = 100% (That's a completely positive day!  Wow!)
Role Model = 90%-99%
Excellent Worker = 80%-89%
Ready to Learn = 60%-79%
Make Better Choices = 50-59%
Teacher's Choice = 49% and below

Attached to the First Grade Handbook, you will find your student and parent access codes to track daily points.  We hope you will find this a useful tool to track your child's days and have discussions at home. 

If you have ANY questions or concerns regarding Class Dojo please don't hesitate to ask!
