I often ask their advice on discipline and presentation of lessons. They offer guidance and recommendations on how to handle situations. I have also written a letter to the parents of the students stating who I am and a brief synopsis of what the students will be doing during our Geometry unit. Reading has become a big issue in schools today. Schools have developed an accelerated reader program.
Students select books from the schools library to read.
Each book has a point value. After students complete the books they take a test and are rewarded points if the test is passed. Students are given time to read in all classes. For my students, I gave bonus points to anyone who brought in proof of visiting the local public library. The librarian is aware of the school program.
