Testing season is upon us. From the responses I’ve received on Facebook, the season has started and ends in May. That is a wide range. I could never understand why Florida tested students on what they have learned for the year in March/April! The school year isn’t over until May and you (Florida) want to test that early. If the test is administered at that time, teachers have HALF of the school year to teach a full year.
Test brings anxiety for everyone. I’ve created an Amazon widget of books that offer insight to students.

I have also created a Pinterest board with the same titles.

Great book suggestions. I may have to pick up a few and add them to the pre-testing reading list.
Jason,
To save money, check your school library first. I enjoyed your blog, and especially love that you tell it like it is! My favorite “I Change The World!” Yes you do!
Thanks for joining Penniless Teacher!
