Most students think tests are totally gross! My goal is to get 170 kids practicing vocabulary, science, and math skills in the form of games and activities. Help me replace the stress, fear, and anxiety of test taking with excitement, competition and high state test scores!

I get totally grossed out when I think of our low state test scores. I plan to bring kids' scores up by using 5 Spelling Ace Pro Puzzle games, Math Bingo, and Totally Gross Science games. Students hate drills, but with the Spelling Ace, every boy and girl will want to compete to improve vocabulary and reading comprehension. Students will play Math Bingo and Totally Gross Science to practice solving math and science test questions with games.

My kids hate taking tests. Using fun activities will help my kids gain confidence because they will feel prepared. Every kid who gets to play with Spelling Ace, Math Bingo and Totally Gross Science will feel motivated to do well on state tests. These fast paced, competition driven, fun games and activities lead to successful testing moments. Students help each other master spelling, science and math skills. Every game and activity kids play will help learning be exciting.

I need your help to give every kid the chance to feel confident about taking tests. I hated tests and did poorly as a student. I believe with more fun, rigorous and innovative practices, I would have done better on state tests. I want every student to succeed. Help me help our kids pass state tests!
