I was a little apprehensive about first grade testing in the afternoon, but my students did a wonderful job. No one whined or complained, and no one fell asleep. (I was worried about that since kids lose their steam after lunch)
Since our testing time is in the afternoon, we had an entire morning to fill. We aren't allowed to 'teach' anything, but we are allowed to review- as long as it's fun. Well, I guess we can do that. :)
Mrs. Watson was my sub for this morning since I was helping out by testing a 3rd grade student who received a lot of accommodations.
I'm pleased to report that my class was wonderful! Mrs. Watson did reading small groups while my students worked on center work. Then they worked on story structure- each team picked a fairy tale (from a stack of books that I got from the library) and filled out a story structure chart to go with it.
In reading groups, Mrs. Watson had the kids work on fluency, and reviewed the verb 'be'. You know, our linking verbs! Check out our post on linking verbs {HERE}.
We played our Language Arts Jeopardy again, then it was time for testing! (lunch was somewhere in there too)
**Parents- we need snacks brought in please! Cereal, granola bars, cheese crackers... etc**
