Testing Is Not Fun
Monday, I tried to keep one full class and a half quiet while the third and fifth grade students took their test. Too much!! Tuesday, I had another double second grade and a half class. Wednesday, today, I was a proctor for the 5th grade. From 9am until 12pm. If the students weren't going crazy with three days of testing, I sure was !! Tomorrow, class project: Peas and Connecters.

I subbed in a middle school today and they seemed pooped. The kids were pretty good for me, but then again, today wasn't a testing day. I guess they've been testing all last week and will test all next week. I'm glad the OGT is one week and then done.
ReplyDeleteWell, just breathe. Only 30-some days to go!
Several years ago I met with some of my former sixth grade students after they had been out of high school for many years. They remembered the projects, the experiments, and the great books we read together. What do you think kids will remember about their years in elementary school since the inception of high stakes testing?
