Class Dojo

What a whirlwind the first week has been! Its been such a joy seeing so many familiar faces and a blast getting to know my new friends for the year. This year in Specials, we've hopped on the Class Dojo bandwagon and love it!!! 

There are a few adjustments to how the kiddos typically interact with Dojo but its easy to adjust: Instead of each student having a Dojo monster, the whole class is represented by their teacher's Dojo monster. This way, they need to work as a team to earn or lose points. Across Specials, we are emphasizing the same positive traits and negative consequences. 

At the end of the 9 weeks, the Dojo monster with the most points in each grade level will be rewarded with a comfy casual day of no shoes, fun movie, pillows/couch time, and popcorn!!! Classes don't have to reach a preset point value to get the reward but rather continually push themselves to get points each day and be the best they can be. 

Kids are already loving it and I'll be connecting with classroom teachers so they can log in as the "parent" and see how their students are doing in Music through the year. I'm so excited!
