  10. Welcome!Introducing…

  11. Behavior expectations We will be working on developing specific behaviors and skills in the classroom this year, such as working hard, being respectful, and helping others. We are a team, so please help us reinforce these expectations at home! 

  12. We will be using ClassDojo to encourage these behaviors and skills, and to stay in touch!

  13. We’ll keep track of behaviors and skills at school • Parents (that’s you!) can check out ClassDojo reports anytime • We can keep in touch through ClassDojo Messaging How can ClassDojo help us?

  14. You’ll see some positive behaviors and skills… These are behaviors students are working towards. When a student is helping others, on task, participating, or using other positive skills,they will receive a Dojo point!

  15. …and some to work on! These are behaviors we are working on! When a student doesn’t turn in homework, is off task, talks out of turn, they lose a Dojo point. If your student is losing Dojo points often, send me a ClassDojo message! We can chat about it.

  16. You will be able to see reports on these behaviors and skills every day!

  17. We’ll be able to message each other, too!

  18. Get the ClassDojo app now! • Download “ClassDojo” from the app store on iOS or Android. It’s free  • Create a new account as a parent • Enter your parent code (on handout) • … and we’re instantly connected!
