I’m linking up with
some of my 3, 4, 5 blogging buddies for a terrific giveaway! Huge prizes!
We wanted to help alleviate some of the stress that happens this time of
year by sharing some tips to stay stress-free and by offering up 4 great
prizes!
It’s that time of the
year! Testing time! How many of you are gearing up for testing
week? Our testing begins in two weeks,
but I know that several states are already testing (or have already
tested). So, how can we make this as
stress-free as possible? Not only for us, but for our students?
I’m going to be
sharing this acronym with my students in grades 3-5 as we get closer to
testing. I shared it with my fourth
graders for the last few years.
We must help our
students to RELAX. Testing is hard, but
if you use these 5 simple strategies during THE test (or any test), you will be able to relax and focus on the
test. Often, our students get so
stressed out looking at the questions that they panic. Just using the word, “relax” will help them
to refocus and use the strategies included:
R- Read the question carefully and then reread the passage or
problem to find the right answer.
E- Examine every answer choice before you choose your answer.
L- Label your answer
in the passage or in the problem.
A- Always check your
work.
X- X-out answers that
cannot possibly be correct.
Testing is inevitable;
why not give our students some strategies to help. You can grab that poster by clicking on the
picture or by clicking {here}.
So, do you want a
chance to win? There are 4 prizes and 4 winners! You will need to scroll through the
