Class DoJo

This week we started a new classroom behavior system called Class Dojo. The program is computerized and allows each student to earn and lose points throughout the day based on their behavior. The program also allows parents to create a login and check their students points. When parents log on there will be a description as to why their child earned or lost a point. On Friday afternoon, the 2 girls and 2 boys with the highest point totals earn a reward. Also, any students with 10 or more points will earn a reward coupon. The points start over every Monday. I have really noticed a difference in class while using the program and look forward to using it this year! :-)

I also introduced the students to a few of my mimio interactive "games". The first one they tried was a reading - following directions.. The students were split into teams and had to read the clues and follow the direction given to answer the questions correctly. They also got to try a math review, which is similar to Jeopardy. The students really seemed to enjoy the "games" and didn't realize what great practice and review they are!
