It is that time again.....time to start practicing test taking strategies for the state tests. As always, I am striving to cut back on paper use to save a few zillion trees. So...when going over our answers I began having the students use sign language for the letters A, B, C, and D. That worked for a bit until others would look around to see what others had shown. Then, they changed their answers and I had no clue what was even going on. Instead of popping Maximum Strength Tylenol, I had the kids fix these neat and nifty little signs. They could choose their own colors...so, no more copying off of others. I simply had them hold up their flower and I could tell who had the correct answers. I could finally monitor and reteach right then and there.
I hope this works for you!
