Day #5

Mr. Curtis has created an incentive in his class that his highly motivating to his students. If they get 100% on their math practice test the they get to be a helper for the week. They also do not have to take the real math test nor do they have to do the math assignments for the next math topic which means no math homework. But they get to help students who have questions with their assignments during the math topic. As you can imagine, the students work really hard in order to obtain 100%.

Mr. Curtis required book reports from the students. He also participates by reading 4th grade chapter books and reporting to the students. He often shares favorite authors and encourages them to try the new books. Avi is on of his favorite authors. I noticed that many of the students came back from library time with an Avi book.
