33. Testing is Done! 5 Ideas to Plan for a Day of Fun
Description
Test prep is no joke! You and your students have worked extremely hard to prepare for state testing. When you finish that final test, I'm sure a sense of accomplishment and relief sets in…and it should! The hard part is over! So, take a victory lap and celebrate with a day of fun.
So, what can you plan for the day after testing to give everyone a much-needed break? This day can be tricky to plan for. You'll likely have students taking makeup tests, so you don't want to begin a new project or plan a movie day.
In this week's episode, I explain how I created a day of fun choice board that included 5 categories of activities to choose from: draw, color, play, watch, and solve. I share the types of activities within each category and suggestions for additional activities to include.
The best part about this day was that I was able to sit at my desk and get some of my own work done for once!
I also share a unique job to give a few students to help take a load off of your very full plate in the Teaching Tip of the Week.
