Today my students are taking the Science CRCT, which is one of five tests administered at public schools in Georgia to test the knowledge of students in grades 1-8. They took the Reading, Language Arts, and Math tests last week, so they'll finish up with the Science and Social Studies ones this week. Each test is divided into two sections and students get 70 minutes to complete each of those two sections. Needless to say, it's kind of wonderful they can't talk for the first three hours of the day, but also extremely boring since I just have to sit there and watch them take it.
Anyways, on our assigned test days my team of teachers decided that we'd bring in snacks for the 80 students on our team. Since today is the science test, it was my day for snacks. I wanted to do something a little more creative and special this year, so I searched Pinterest and loved this idea that I saw on one of Amy's boards.
So, this morning my kids will get a ziploc bag on their desks with the snacks and note in the picture below to hopefully help them focus and also remind them that their science teacher loves them... most days. ;)
Oh and that part about Six Flags... if they pass all 5 of the tests, they get a free ticket and bus ride to Six Flags in a few weeks. How awesome is that? I'm sending up lots of prayers and positive thoughts that they do their best today!
