We're Back!

Wow! It's been FOREVER since I've written a blog.

What's happened since my last one?
We've had spring break, standardized testing, and begun the 4th QUARTER OF SCHOOL! WOO HOO!

Well, I could obviously write about several things but this blog is going to be about stardardized testing.
Testing may be a serious topic but my class can take anything and make it funny.

For 4 days we had at least an hour of testing during the morning. Some days we had up to two hours.
I had to monitor my students (walk around and make sure everyone was bubbling their answers correctly and keeping their eyes on their own paper) this whole time so I had lots of time to make observations.

Something I noticed was that every kid had their own testing face.

There was the focused, "I'm trying so hard it looks like smoke may come out of my ears." face.


This is the "Oh my gosh! Am I supposed to know the answer to that?" face.


There was the "UGGGHHHH! I can't do this anymore!" face.


Then there's the "What? I'm taking a test?" face.


And last, but certainly not least, there was the "Yes! I know the answer! Let me write it down before I forget it." face.
