My Project

As a teacher deeply invested in the academic success and emotional well-being of my students, I would love to ease the stress surrounding the upcoming Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) test.

Our third grade students are preparing to tackle the challenges of standardized testing.

Understandably, this transition can be daunting for many young learners. However, I am committed to ensuring that they approach this assessment with confidence and positivity.

To motivate and uplift my students during this critical time, I am planning to provide them with special treats and encouraging messages. These small gestures can go a long way in boosting their morale and alleviating test-related anxiety.

I firmly believe that a supportive and nurturing environment is essential for students to showcase their true abilities. This project would enable me to extend this initiative to all third grade students across the four classrooms. By providing them with these treats, you would not only help alleviate their worries but also demonstrate that their hard work and dedication are recognized and valued.

Ms. Bourque
Grades 3-5
