Our New Four Year Old Classroom Management Program ~ Class Dojo!



Our classroom is using Class Dojo for the rest of the year to keep track of our manners and reward positive behavior.  Each week (Wednesday or Thursday) we will be using the points that we earned throughout the week to “purchase” different rewards.  These rewards are incentives for the students to make the right choices in every situation and help them see that using good manners all the time is what we strive toward every day!  For more information on how class dojo works, you can visit this YouTube video at http://youtu.be/KaeNSYJvrn0
The positive behaviors that children can “earn” points for are
  • ·        Cleaning up
  • ·        Great listening
  • ·        Helping others
  • ·        On task
  • ·        Participating
  • ·        Teamwork
  • ·        Walking nicely
  • ·        Working hard

Students will unfortunately “lose” points for the following behaviors
  • ·        Bullying
  • ·        Disrespect
  • ·        Hitting/Pushing
  • ·        Off task/Not listening
  • ·        Running in class
  • ·        Talking out of turn

To help as in incentive for the students, I have added a few rewards that they can earn.  The dojo point system is simplified for the students because of their age, so the dojo points that you see online (see the attached sheet for sign-up information) will not match the classroom manner points that you see written on the monster in class.  For 1-10 dojo points, the student will receive 1 classroom manner point.  For 11-20 dojo points, the students will receive 2 classroom manner points and so on.  Points will be carried over each week if the student does not “spend” them, classroom manner points will be updated daily, and the dojo points you see online will not be changed because of students “spending” their classroom manner points.

The rewards in class are as follows:
  • ·        2 points-Pick a job for the day
  • ·        4 points-$1 to chapel
  • ·        6 points-a piece of candy at snack
  • ·        6 points-treasure box
  • ·        8 points-pick a friend for centers
  • ·        10 points-Dairy Queen ice cream





If you have any questions about logging in or how the system will work, please let me know!
