Grade 2 · ages 7 and 8 · Cycle One

Points that mean something, and a class that works toward them.

In Grade 2, students understand a rule and remember it. LinoClass gives you class challenges in two taps, privileges that points can buy, and a history nobody argues with. Families follow along without an app.

Free for up to 35 students · no credit card · 15 minutes to set up

Privileges the class works toward

Pick your seat, run the board, five minutes of free drawing: you name the privileges and their cost. A student trades in points when they have enough, and you see right away what actually motivates your group.

  • Class challenges: what you praise most often, with a value and a badge
  • Privileges with a cost in points; the trade takes one tap
  • Three challenges and three privileges come with the free plan; your own, without limit, with Pro
The LinoClass Manage points page: class challenges with their value and privileges with their cost

The student sees their points, their wins and what they can trade for

On their page, a student reads their balance, the list of their wins and the privileges within reach. The link between what they do and what they get is visible, without you repeating it.

  • My points, My wins, To trade: three labels a seven-year-old can read
  • Reset at the end of a term; the history is kept
  • Undo a mistake in one tap

Activities that go beyond the worksheet

In Grade 2, a student writes a sentence, draws what happens next in the story, photographs their build and explains it. The activity is done on the canvas, as with the tracing sheet shown here, handed in with one tap, and approved from your submissions screen.

  • Ready backgrounds: lined, grid, dotted, blank
  • Written instructions, read out loud too; optional due date
  • Team work: the student names their teammates and the work lands in each portfolio

A message to a parent, about their child

When a note in the agenda is not enough, you write to the parent directly, inside LinoClass. The conversation is attached to the student, and you decide whether parents can message you first.

  • Announcements to the whole class, with an attachment, now or scheduled
  • Important announcement: a push notification to families
  • Parents reply with no app, through the link they got by email

Why this grade

Grade 2, the age when a rule becomes fair

At seven, a student no longer follows the rule because you said it. They follow it because it is the same for everyone and they can see the result. A points system that lives on a whiteboard at the back of the room disappears with the eraser. In LinoClass it adds up, it can be checked, and it leads to something the student chose.

  • You name the behaviours.Class challenges are your list, editable any time.
  • Motivation comes from the privilege, not the number.The store is the part students look at.
  • The portfolio carries on.Photos, drawings, approved activities: Grade 2 leaves a trace too.

Privacy

These are seven-year-olds' data. We treat them that way.

Hosted in Canada, compliant with Quebec's Law 25, no ads. Parents decide what can be captured of their child, and you decide what they get shown.

Hosted in Canada

Your students' photos, drawings and work live on servers in Quebec and do not leave. No out-of-country transfer for your board to assess.

Parent consent, Law 25

Each parent allows or refuses photos, video and audio for their child, separately. You see the class consent report, and the camera greys out for a child without permission.

No ads, no data resale

A teacher or a school pays, never an advertiser. We do not sell data, and there is no advertising tracker.

No passwords for children

One QR poster per class, valid all year and active during school hours only. Nothing to remember, reset or leak.

Nothing leaves without you

A photo or a piece of work reaches families only when you approve it. Family comments pass through you before they appear, too.

Deletion on request

A parent can ask for their child's data to be erased, and a teacher who leaves can download everything and then have it all deleted, within 30 days.

Frequently asked

What Grade 2 teachers ask us

How does the points system work?
You create class challenges (what you want to praise, with a value in points) and privileges (what points can buy, with a cost). In class, you pick one or more students, or the whole class, then the challenge: the points are awarded. A student trades points for a privilege when they have enough. Everything can be undone in one tap and the history is kept.
Do students see each other's points?
On their own page, a student sees their balance, their wins and what they can trade for. The class board with every balance is in your teacher view; you decide whether to project it.
Can we start over each term?
Yes. The reset puts every student back to zero without erasing anything: the history stays available, and the reset itself can be undone.
What part of the points system is free?
Three class challenges and three privileges, per-student totals and privilege trades are all in the free plan. Creating your own challenges and privileges without limit and viewing the detailed history are part of the Pro plan, at CA$79 per year per teacher, plus tax.
Do families need an app?
No. Each parent gets a link by email that takes them to the class feed, their child's work and your messages. No account to create, no password, and a recap email on Friday. Each parent picks their language, English or French.
