  Case: Standardized Test Review
It's that time of year, time to review for the standardized tests. What suggestions do you have for making review engaging for students? It can be very boring for the students and myself as a teacher.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I provide review packets for math and reading that have questions similar to standardized tests. The kids complete the packets in class during free time and at home. As a grade level, we offer rewards for completing both reviews. If they do one or the other, they get to choose between playing in a class v. class kickball game or an ice cream float. If they complete both, they receive rewards. They students also check their own work before turning it in, so I can easily go through and which skills require the most review and which ones the students have mastered.
