As everyone is preparing for state testing in the upcoming weeks, I thought you could use some cute ways to motivate your students. We like to give our students a snack halfway through the test because they seem to do much better at concentrating and focusing. Here are a few things you could use as food items and cute sayings that might help! These are not my ideas at all. I borrowed them from this website: http://www.proteacher.net/discussions/showthread.php?t=32122.
Cheerios - Cheering you to success or I'm CHEERing you on
Super Bubble Gum - I know you will do a SUPER job
Lucky CharmsGood LUCK today on your test
Starburst - You are a STAR or Shine like a STAR today
Licorice Twists - Don't let the test TWIST your mind
Hershey Hugs - A HUG from me to you to do the best that you can do
Oranges - ORANGE you glad the tests are almost over????
Raisins - Keep RAISIN your head high
Pretzel Twists - (same as licorice above)
Day 1-Gum with a note that says: Blow the top off the test!
Day 2-Snickers-Let's not have any Snickers, just do your best!
Day 3-Starburst Candy- For a burst of energy to do a fantastic job
Day 4-Success all the way to the Milky Way
Day 5-Hugs and Kisses for putting forth your best effort!
Be a “smartie” and ACE this test! (smarties)
Blow the TOP off this test! (bubble gum)
A BURST of energy to do AWESOME! (starburst)
“KISS” your worries goodbye. Do great! (Hershey's kiss)
Don’t SNICKER !! Do your best! (mini Snickers)-----------------

Cana thank you for sharing this. Our 3-6 group has decided to use some of these ideas in our Benchmark Kick Off next weeek. (We are going to make the first aid kit.) I hope the students are encouraged!
