Since we have a much shorter testing schedule, a suggestion was to test Tuesday - Thursday in order to have students more focused. Monday and Friday have not been the best testing days for students. Many teachers took the color-changing pencils in the office. I would request that teachers not have students use them on the test. They could become very preoccupied with creating designs on the pencils. They would make great rewards for student effort on the test.
