My Project

I hope to excite students to review for our upcoming state testing in a few weeks! I aim to make a themed door with decorating supplies such as bulletin board paper and borders.

To motivate students, when each student reaches an 80% or higher with our test reviews, they will be able to get a "brag tag" for that standard; along with each of them getting themed bandanas to take home at the beginning of Historian Training Camp!

These brag tags are our necklaces and colored paper will be used.

The games (Bloxel, headbandz, jenga) and TPT gift card are to help us have fun ways to review and relax during this time as well. I want this time for students to be informative, motivating, and most importantly, fun!
