Class Dojo

In my class I use Class Dojo.  It's a website where parents can see throughout each day how their child is doing at school.  What I do at school is have the website up on my computer then can give students points for positive behaviors or give negative points if a student's behavior warrants it.  At the end of the week I call each student up to pay them in our class "Beach Bucks" for each positive point they have earned and then students who have negative points owe me Beach Bucks for each one.  These Beach Bucks are used for our class auction at the end of each semester.  Another great feature of Class Dojo is that I can send each parent messages using the app on my phone or online, and parents can get the message instantly, similar to text messages.  I can also send whole class broadcasts for any class reminders that I may have.  If you haven't signed up for Class Dojo please do so.  If you haven't used it much, I really do encourage you to use it to know how your child's school days are going.  The students love to earn points and try their hardest to earn them.  If you have any questions about this great class tool please e-mail me or send a note with your child.
