I wanted to tell you about a behavior tool I use in my classroom called Class Dojo. It is a website that allows teachers to give students immediate feedback on their behaviors, positive and negative. Students get very excited when they are awarded points (it’s on display the entire school day) and one of the best things I’ve noticed is that they root for each other! They are so sweet to each other, congratulating others when they receive a positive point.
One of the great features of Class Dojo is that it allows me to send you a “behavior and skills report” every Friday by email. My hope is that this will bring you and me closer together, and help you better understand the progress of your student on a week to week basis.
I know you will be proud to see the great behaviors they are displaying, and in turn, if there is something they need to work on, you will be able to see that as well.
Go to www.classdojo.com or download the ClassDojo app for free on your smart phone. Creating an account with ClassDojo is FREE!
If you need the code to connect to the class, please let me know, so I can send home the invite in your child's folder!
