I know teachers are just as stressed as the kiddos this time of year! A lot of us teachers try to make life better for our little ones when they are under the pressure of taking the state tests.
Our tests start Monday. I've barely slept all week! My little guys are as ready as their gonna be- we've been reading, writing and doing math all year. I just hope they're ready enough!
To help them feel better on the testing days, I prepared a little treat for each day of the week. I made this poster so they have something to look forward to each day!
I bought a big Costco sized box of Redbulls, 5 Hour Energy shots, and brownie mix. The kids will be ready if I can help it!!
On Monday, the Redbulls will energize them and help them focus on the reading test. On Tuesday, the 5 Hour Energy will keep them working through the writing test, and on Wednesday, the brownies I made (with extra special butter) will keep them working away on their math test. I think my class results this year are gonna be stellar!!!

Ha. If only we could give these to them, huh?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking those would be good treats in the teachers lounge too.
ReplyDeleteSeriously - do second graders in your state take three tests? That's worse than us, and I think our testing is crazy.
Where are you?
