Some of the positive behaviors that can earn them points are: being prepared and on time for class, participating positively in a group, and being on task. The students often ask me how many points they have or ask me if they can log into Class Dojo to check their points. They do this because they are saving up for certain items and these rewards are very motivating to them. So far this year, the most popular items have been silly putty, shoe charms, and the little squishy animals.\r\n\r\nThank you again for donating these fun rewards so my classroom can be a more positive place for the students!","fullyFundedDate":1753991902600,"projectUrl":"project/mr-lacys-class-dojo-store/9496979/","projectTitle":"Mr. Lacy's Class Dojo Store","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Lacy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2370471_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y191&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1719779633496","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2370471"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_75265","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":438,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":39,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":47,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"10.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":60.7,"schoolId":75265,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Classical Magnet School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Classical Magnet School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/hartford-public-school-district/gtr-hartford-classical-magnet-school/75265"}
