Is it test prep season for you? I always prepared

Is it test prep season for you? I always prepared for testing by doing The Test Prep Olympics!

It is a way to keep kiddos engaged and LOVING test preparation. While teaching them tons!
I would explain it all in this long post, but instead, I created a quick video so you could just listen to what it is all about it!

Also, this is a picture from my first-ever Olympics 6 years ago!

WHY TEACH THE LEMONADE WAR AS A NOVEL STUDY?
The Lemonade War makes for a great novel study because it integrates into economics and math very easily! It is also highly relatable to students in the 3rd/4th-grade levels! It keeps them engaged and interested in the novel throughout the entire reading!

When surveying teachers about their biggest struggle when it comes to teaching, I kept getting the same answer over and over, the afternoon.

In the link in @friendlyteacher , I am going to share a few ideas on how to make the afternoon just a little bit easier. Try one or two out and see what happens!
