There are 5 things I ALWAYS do before the STAAR test to set my students up for success, communicate with families, and still have a little fun while we prepare for the big day! I’m going to share my top 5 must-dos for standardized testing which include teaching my students my ultimate math brain dump, sharing resources with families, writing letters of encouragement, making STAAR survival kits, and planning a “Monday Fun Day” on the day before the test. __________________________________________________________________ 🎥 SUBSCRIBE TO POCKETFUL OF PRIMARY: https://www.youtube.com/pocketfulofprimary?sub_confirmation=1 VLOG PLAYLIST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzMt-laLU9XwfKSOykTpRq2IGVustA-U8 🍎🛒 CLASSROOM 2025-2026 AMAZON LIST: https://amzn.to/3H8VQEw CHAPTERS: 0:00 Intro 0:29 When is STAAR? 1:49 Teach my students the math STAAR brain dump 6:04 Share resources with families 11:09 Letters of encouragement 15:09 STAAR survival kits 18:03 Monday Fun Day before STAAR 27:22 Outro 🧠🎥 HOW I TEACH MY 4TH GRADE STUDENTS THE MATH STAAR BRAIN DUMP: https://youtu.be/VRxPO0vr1f0 🧠🎥 4TH GRADE MATH STAAR BRAIN DUMP TUTORIAL VIDEO FOR STUDENTS & FAMILIES: https://youtu.be/IF20AAM6yfU ⭐ STAAR SURVIVAL KIT ITEMS: Cellophane bags: https://amzn.to/4jAckD8 Star stress balls: https://amzn.to/42O9zbQ Star erasers: https://amzn.to/3RqIwNv Smarties: https://amzn.to/3RqIAgd Mints: https://amzn.to/4lzvvif Tags: https://www.canva.com/design/DAGk2uYQfaA/p71epEvp9TRq33Ynyx9BCQ/view?utm_content=DAGk2uYQfaA&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink&mode=preview 💬🎥 KID PRESIDENT PEP TALK VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-gQLqv9f4o 🖍️ TESTING MOTIVATION COLORING PAGES: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Testing-Motivation-Coloring-Pages-After-State-Test-Positive-Affirmations-Sheets-12729029 📚 READ ALOUD BOOKS: The Smart Cookie: https://amzn.to/42A6vyH Bravo, Jalen!: https://amzn.to/42FiPOl __________________________________________________________________ 🍏 TEACHERSPAYTEACHERS STORE: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Pocketful-Of-Primary 📖🥇🍎 FIRST CLASS TEACHING BOOK: Amazon - https://amzn.to/4b8C3hp Audible - https://www.audible.com/pd/First-Class-Teaching-Audiobook/B0C3FQVJN2 Audiobooks - https://www.audiobooks.com/audiobook/first-class-teaching-10-lessons-you-dont-learn-in-college/673960 🛒 AMAZON FAVORITES: http://bit.ly/pocketfulofprimarystore 🍎🛒🖤 CLASSROOM AMAZON WISHLIST: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1JLJUE48YFDLO?ref_=wl_share 🍎 POCKETFUL OF PRIMARY MERCHANDISE: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PocketfulofPrimary?ref=search_shop_redirect __________________________________________________________________ Find me on my other social media platforms: INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/pocketfulofprimary FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/PocketfulofPrimary/ PINTEREST: https://www.pinterest.com/pocketfulofprim/ PODCAST: https://teachingonthedouble.com/podcasts/ WEBSITE: www.pocketfulofprimary.com For business inquiries, please contact: pocketfulofprimary@gmail.com __________________________________________________________________ *My description includes referral codes/links that allow me to earn points or credit that can be redeemed for products and/or subscriptions.
