How to use Class Dojo at home?

lass Dojo is being used by many families all over the world, it is an app that connects families to classrooms. It gives teachers a way to quickly and easily communicate with parents about their child's progress in class. It also allows parents to monitor their child's academic performance and see how they are doing relative to other students in the class

But if you are a parent looking to use the platform there are amazing resources that you can use.

I feel the topics that are chosen are very relevant to children today. The activities are also great for helping children understand the topics being discussed.

The videos can be used by parents at home to encourage discussions around these topics and help kids see the value of having a positive mindset.

Children generally like anything in the format of videos and cartoons. The activities are also short and to the point. Though these topics might seem very serious, the way they are presented make them digestible for kids.

I think that these videos provide a lot of good information for children in a format that is easy for them to understand and follow. I would recommend these videos to parents and teachers who are looking for ways to help kids develop a growth mindset.
