Glow the Staar Test Away

Help me give my students a fun experience to excite them for state testing.

My Project

My students have been working hard at preparing for their big state test. With that test comes stress and nerves.

In order to get them amped up for the test, I am asking for resources that will not only make their day brighter but excite them in preparation of the big test!

State testing is not a fun experience and preparing for that seems put a heavy weight and stress on the kids. I want to request glow items to incorporate into math stations that activate their learning in a unique way.
