I've collected some adorable things to help motivate my students,

 and ease their test anxiety!

 Here are some adorable ideas I plan on using with my 3rd grade before the testing begins.

I have 6 big testing days so I was thinking.. good luck notes, treats, good read-a-louds, songs, & then a pep rally.

One of the first things I did was let the parents

 write their child a sweet-encouraging note, 

                   (during parent teacher conferences)

 that I will give them on one of the test mornings! 

             (parents thought it was the best idea ever)

Then I found a  link that has great test prep songs:
