Well, it's that time of year... Testing Time!
Each and every April/May our kids our tested, literally, to death. (Okay, so not literally, but almost!) And while I could go on and on about the pros and cons of testing, the reality is that it does not matter. The powers that be say we have to test our kids for x amount of hours and so that is what I do.
And although testing time is pretty high stress (especially for the teachers!), it doesn't have to be days and days of endless blah. I hope to blog about some of the things going on in my classroom and school to alleviate some of the symptoms of test-itis. But until then, check out this post from Scholastic's blog, Top Teaching -
