What are dotties and how can I be assigned one?
Dotties are classroom jobs that I assign my students to be responsible for every day. When you are assigned one, you are expected to do them well. Dotties will change every 4 weeks. If you are especially good at a certain dotty, I may let you keep it for longer. I will let everyone apply for the dotties you want by filling out an application just like I had to fill out one to get this job as your 4th grade teacher!

Caboose - is the student responsible for calling the rest of the class to line up whenever we leave the class and is at the end of the line.
