Class Dojo

I have introduced Class Dojo to the class. Class Dojo is an internet based behavior management system. While the website can be used to manage both negative and positive behaviors, I choose to use only the positive side of it. Students earn one point per day that they stay on green card. They can also earn points for hallway behavior (I choose one mystery walker each time we leave the room and award a point to that person if they display correct hallway behaviors). I also award students a point for turning in completed homework on time and for various other reasons (team work, helping others, etc.)

This is an example of what our classroom looks like on Class Dojo's website (again, it's an example, not our class): 

Everyone chose their own avatar to represent them. They  started earning points last week and will have the opportunity to purchase a reward for every ten points they earn. The kids are very excited about earning their first rewards. Be sure to ask them often about their points! 

So what does all of that good behavior buy them!? See the complete list of rewards below!
