Why I use ClassDojoMy classroom community is more positive and supportive than ever – with my students and their parents.
We encourage each other in class for skills we believe are important.
Parents can see how their child is doing, plus I can share photos, videos, and announcements instantly from class!

Encourage students
Every day I give ‘Dojo points’ to students for skills like helping others, persistence, and teamwork.
Students love being recognized for their hard work :)
