Surviving & Thriving During Standardized Testing (Part 2)

Help me give my students the snacks that they need to succeed during standardized testing.

My Project

The snacks listed in this project were carefully chosen. Research shows that mint is a natural remedy for boosting memory and concentration, so we chose cinnamon to include in our test survival kits.

As a bonus, research shows that the kinesthetic action of chewing gum or sucking on mints can have a relaxing effect and increase focus during standardized testing.

The Poptarts will fill tummies (before testing) so that scholars are ready to engage in MAP testing and can focus/apply the test-taking strategies that they've learned. The chips are going to be given out to scholars as they finish testing and will help them to pull through until lunch.
