My Project

During state testing, I leave daily surprises for my students such as temporary tattoos, slime, and stress toys in hopes to enhance their excitement and desire to be at school. Colored pencils and pens are used each morning as students doodle motivation sheets in preparation for testing. Candy and mints help students during testing when they need a little pick-me-up during long testing periods. To wrap up the end of testing and celebrate each student's hard work, I am requesting bubbles, sunglasses, and soccer balls for each student to enjoy!
