Great Idea While Students Wait for the Morning Bell!



Standardized test….let’s face it, they suck.  However, there is no denying that standardized test is a major part of education.   So we have to learn to love it and embrace it.  When students finish their breakfast they wait outside their classroom for the morning bell.  I decided to utilize this as an opportunity to provide extra support for students in the area of their iLEAP as well as decrease noise in the hallways.  To provide extra support for my students and prepare them for their iLEAP test I place material related to specific GLEs that my students will be tested on outside in a bin.  This has been a great strategy; my students are engaged prior to class, they are confident about their iLEAP, and they are quiet in the hallways.   After the morning bell my students come into class and complete their material, then assess each other’s work; once completed we go over content as a whole class.
