The 6-8 POD teachers bought and wore motivational Tee-shirts to encourage their students not to stress out about the OHIO state tests they are taking. The tee shirts say “DONUT stress just do your best” and of course there was a donut with blue Icing and sprinkles to make it especially fun!
The Motivation Squad
Mrs. Popadak’s 3rd grade class created encouraging posters to hang on the walls in their POD. The Lincoln 3rd through 8th grade students are testing March 28 through April 7th. The students hung the posters to help motivate their fellow students to do their best on the test!
