Classroom Management
In our classroom, we believe in the importance of behaving appropriately in order to maximize learning time. We also believe in positive reinforcement. When students follow the expectations of the classroom (please refer to Classroom Expectations), they have the opportunity to be rewarded in two different ways:
1. SHARK Bites
Students can earn green SHARK Bites by demonstrating school-wide expectations. Students will have the opportunity to redeem their SHARK Bites at the Shark Shack. They can also earn a red SHARK Bite if they are caught exceeding school-wide expectations. This red SHARK bite gives them access to the Principal’s Shark Tank.
2. Class Dojo
Students can earn Dojo Points by being prepared for class, remaining on task during classwork, helping the teacher or peers, etc. Once the whole class reaches 200 points, the class can vote on a whole class celebration and students can individually buy various rewards with their points. Any points they do not spend can be banked and saved for future shopping!
