Year 3/4 – Room 17 Ms Gill & Mrs Wright 

Hi there,

On Friday, a note and password sheet went home with each child for the program ‘Class Dojo’.

Just  little bit more information for you on how this program will work for Room 17 this year…

-Students accumulate individual points throughout the year for positive classroom behaviours e.g. on task, reflective, helping others etc.

-Both teachers are linked to the one class, so parents can see which teacher has been giving the points on the day. You can also message both of us using the message function on Class Dojo as an alternative to email.

-Students can also receive reminders for negative classroom behaviours e.g. talking out of turn, off task etc. This doesn’t take any points away from the students total, it will just show as a neutral 0. This means that it will look as though students are achieving 100% everyday, but if you see a neutral you know that the teacher has had to remind the student about that behaviour.

-At the end of each month, we will calculate the percentage positive and neutral to work out an overall percentage. Each student needs to try to achieve above 85% for the month to achieve a certificate and karate belt for their Avatar.

-Each month is a fresh start for percentages and working towards the next certificate and belt. Their points will keep accumulating though!

-We have discussed some class rewards that we are working towards with the combined total class points, Our first reward is at 1000 points and we are in the 800’s already!!

Hopefully that makes sense, sorry it is a lot of information. The students are all very excited to use this!

Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any further questions. Please remember to sign the notes and send them in to us with you child this week.

Thanks, Meg and Krista

Our Book Fair will be happening in The library next week –  on Monday and Tuesday of Week 5 – 28th & 29th May.  Book sales will be from 8am -6pm.  Our class will have the opportunity to visit at the end of this week to preview what is for sale and compile a list of books they will come home and tell you they must have 🙂

During this time the library will be unavailable for borrowing so this may be the perfect opportunity to explore our digital library. This is also a great service if you have overdues or are going away on an extended holiday. See the graphic  that outlines how to use this great platform.
