A1 Yes! Most of our children would never learn these life skills if they weren't taught in school. They are also some of my favorite lessons to teach! #dojochat
@CaitEileen_W@ClassDojo Woops Caitlin, forgot how to start.....its been a year already! I teach 1st grade in Texas and I am thrilled to host this chat! #dojochat
@ClassDojo As I mentioned earlier, this was an area I chose to focus on over the summer. I was excited to learn my school decided to focus on these lessons too #dojochat
I really enjoy having a specific word for each month. It guides our conversations and also teaches vocabulary (in a fun secret kind of way π) #dojochat
Our counselor sends a newsletter home about the word every month and includes activities that families can do as well. Didn't even think of posting to ClassDojo (duh π€¦πΌββοΈ) #dojochat
A3 Our counselor plans a lesson for K-2 that she presents. Besides that, Ts do random lessons based on the word of the month. This month the word is Gratitude. We also try to always do new words every year! #dojochat
A3: Pillar of the month discussion, read a book, hands on activity, discussion. Ts chose "Ch. Ed. S of the month". Name is posted on bulletin board #dojochat
@ClassDojo A3 My school admin also decided to tie in the character lessons to the book Wonder. All of the students in grades 3-6 have a copy of the book. #dojochat#kindness
@ClassDojo A3 Our entire school including janitors, cafeteria monitors, teaching assistants, teachers and students are doing a book study on the book. #dojochat#kindness
A3 Also my class is on big game, and you can earn a badge by writing a thank you letter to an influencer and snapping a pic of it for evidence #dojochat#spreadkindness#saythankyou
A4 we then can review in the next week's meeting to see if we want to downgrade older traits because we mastered them, and what new ones we should add #dojochat always self reflective
A4: Mojo! He's great at explaining character lessons. When Ss show desired traits, I verbally praise + name trait + give dojo point w/ the trait. Extreme reinforcement! ππ» #dojochat
A5: I found this website today haven't really dug into it. Says it's good for K-2. Offers real life problems. Ss choose the correct way to handle it. https://t.co/GeVjbABQcD#dojochat
@ClassDojo A5 I have an entire bulletin board dedicated to these traits. In grades K-2, we have the picture book for Wonder and we are reading it next week. #dojochat
