So I tried to think of a fun way to review for the STAR test which is happening this week. I told the students that we were having an "All- STAR Quiz Show". Each student created a character and wrote a short background story of their character. The students then dressed up as their character for the quiz show. I dressed up as the host, we had game-show music, and I held a fake microphone as I interviewed each contestant about who they were. It was hilarious as students attempted to act their part.
The mistake I made:
Well, I told all of the students about this last week. I clearly wrote it in a note home and told each student to bring a costume to school, but not to wear the costume first thing in the morning.
Let's just say, that on day one of the STAR test, pencils sharpened, desks in rows, one of my students arrived in a massive carnival hat. Can we say distracting? We all had a good laugh and the hat was put away... at leat no one showed up in a grass skirt or a mask of face paint.
oops:)
