State Testing With Some Thoughtful Items

Help me give my students snacks, fidget toys, and a standing desk to those who may need an alternate seating arrangement during state testing.

My Project

State testing will soon be upon us. This stressful time can have a negative effect on those students who struggle with remaining focused. Although there is little teachers can do during the testing sessions, we are able to provide our students with a show of appreciation for them.

Providing snacks for energy, fidget toys to assist with concentrating, and a standing desk for those who have difficulty remaining seated for long durations may be just what is needed to help get them through our testing periods.

All of these items would be greatly appreciated and may benefit my students as they put their best effort into these high stakes test.
