We will be creating a rainbow of words as we discuss "shades of meaning" with vocabulary words. If you are able to swing through Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. this weekend and snag some paint chips to send in, please do! We will start making our rainbow on Monday :-). 



Class Dojo


We have started using Class Dojo, an app that allows us to track our classroom behavior. Each student was assigned an avatar, and their avatar earns or loses points as they are "caught" demonstrating good or bad behavior throughout the day. Teachers are able to assign points from the Class Dojo website or a mobile device, so our points travel with us throughout the day. We are also able to check in on our avatars through the Smart Board. I am still exploring, but keep an eye out for a letter that will give you a code to log on to Class Dojo and check on your child's progress!
