Through our classroom Dojo Economy, students will have the opportunity to earn Dojo dollars (through the collection of dojo points) which can be used to purchase fun items made by their peers during our trimester Business Day events, and class coupons and other goodies at our monthly Dojo-tique. (During distance-learning, our dojotique will be held online)
Students earn Dojo points/dollars in class for helping others, being on task, participating, showing persistence, demonstrating teamwork, working hard, and showing community kindness.
Through the classroom economy, students understand the value of saving and managing their money, delayed gratification, and heightened responsibility. Students are active contributors to the management of the classroom through their job roles, which during distance learning is being a productive member of our online class community and using perseverance and persistence during challenges. By working together, all students help to create a more cooperative, collaborative environment for everyone.
