A note about Class Dojo and Edmodo.
On Edmodo, you can see a growing library of folders that contain videos, games, and activities relating to our curriculum. We use these all throughout our day and the kids love to extend that learning to home by showing off their knowledge and moves. Please make a parent account with the group code below today.
On Class Dojo, all behavior is tracked and rewards are given for those students with the highest scores. Parents can see how their children are doing while communicating quickly and directly with the teacher throughout the day as needed. Each parent has a unique code to get into this site. Therefore, if you misplaced yours, please send a note in the homework folder and you will receive a copy.
Both these tools help break down traditional barriers to communication and school success. Please join and have fun sharing in this community experience.
Edmodo Group Code: go to Edmodo.com and create a parent account with the group code: apunkq
All About Me Poster Project Due: 9/21/15
The project will be sent home during the first few days in the homework folder.
