The countdown has begun! As of today, there are only 22 days left until the start of the ISTEP and IREAD3 tests that begin in mid March. We started a countdown a few weeks ago and we realized that it was making us all a little stressed out. So I decided to make it fun!
I filled 25 balloons with 1 fun activity. Each day we pop the balloon and find time to do 1 fun activity. This week we've planted a seed, read Scholastic News, played Finish the Picture, and played Around the World. More fun activities are on their way! Now, my students are excited about counting down to the ISTEP. They're still nervous, but they also have something fun to look forward to each day.
