Every year I turn our classroom into a DOJO! Boys and girls a "DOJO" is a room or a "training hall" in which judo and other martial arts are practiced.

 

Martial arts comes from Japanese origin. Martial arts is the art of self-defense. Some types of martial arts include: judo, karate, and kendo etc.

 

IMPORTANT: Once you are in a DOJO, certain behaviors are expected and we 

 

will follow them in our "Class Dojo."

 

OUR RULES:

 

1. Each person must strive for the perfection of one's character (meaning work hard and do your best every day!)                                                                       

                  :I can accept failure, I can't accept not trying." -Michael Jordan:

 

2. Each person must be faithful and protect the way of truth (Meaning always be honest, even if we make a mistake.)

:IT'S OK to make a mistake! Lying is not:

 

3.Each person must persevere (meaning to never give up! You can do it! Challenge yourself everyday!)

                                         

                                         : In 2-CA we call it "Building Stamina":

 

4.Each person must respect others and the rules of etiquette( Meaning, treat others the way they would like to be treated, and follow classroom behaviors)

              :Golden Rule!"
