Class Dojo
We will be using a new behavior system this year. Class Dojo is an online positive/negative points program that allows students to track their own behavior by giving themselves points or taking them away. This system will be displayed on the Smart Board daily. Each student will have their own “monster” avatar. Students can earn positive points by: Teamwork, Helping others, participation, hard work, on task and persistence. Negative Points can be earned by: showing disrespect, no homework, being off task, being unprepared or any negative behavior. At the end of the day students will be rewarded for points with “swamp sticks”, candy, wildcat cash and other incentives. If a student is displaying a negative behavior they will be warned first. If the behavior continues the student will deduct a point from their avatar. If the student then continues to display the behavior, the student will deduct another point and will have a note written home in their planner. Hopefully the behavior will not continue after the previous warnings, but if it does the student will deduct another point and will receive a referral.  

Swamp Sticks
            As mentioned in the previous section, we will be using “swamp sticks” as part of our rewards system. Students will be able to use sticks to buy items from our class Gator Shop. This store will be open at least once every two weeks, depending on the need. The following are ways students can earn “swamp sticks”:
-          Earning 5 or more points on Dojo per day
-          Random acts of kindness
-          Going above and beyond
These are a few ways, there may be others, but those will be communicated on a need to know basis.
