Use this ppt as a review for the week prior to reading and or science testing. I dress up in Fatigues and we march around we do pushups and jumping jacks, we go all out! The kids buy in and it is a great fun week powerhousing them with last minute review strategies! My kids love it! The 7th graders can't wait till the next year to participate! They see and hear us all week! This was originally adapted from TX, to AZ and ultimately works for just about any state exam of reading and science. You

Adapted trashketball to STAAR questions and content questions for review for 8th grade STAAR. They are color coded by categories. The beginning is in specific color scheme, but towards the end they are mixed in to have variety. I have added questions over the last couple years to make them more valid from the released questions. I hope your kids love it as much as mine did/do!

This is a bootcamp themed review for testing in Texas. This can be adapted to just about any reading state exam, but this particular one was created for STAAR. Please take the time to review and give feedback. Need AZ- see http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/AIMS-Testing-FUN-Bootcamp-Strategies-255138

This is a program that helps review for AZ Merit and the tactics used to conquer the test. I have adapted it to AZ Merit, it was original to TAKS with help of peers. The students become engaged in review this way and it can be pumped up big or kept just a small review... the bigger more intense the better the kids react to it! :) Please vote and give feedback, all is appreciated. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Zealous-Educator

This is a simple way to reemphasize areas that are found on state tests covering Punnett squares and Heredity. I used this after our test to reteach weak areas, however you could use prior to test and during lessons. I also used the pen tool to write on them as we went over each slide.

5 days of bell ringers to practice using the periodic table to locate information. Many questions come from a state test practice book. Please check my store for more bell ringers and flashcards to use. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Zealous-Educator

This is a ppt that teaches students how to use the dictionary to their benefit. My ELL's were allowed to use dictionaries in classes, but if they never have been taught how to use one, it was useless. Simple and fun to teach this lesson. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Zealous-Educator

Give ELL's the confidence needed to practice speaking and communicating with others. All students can benefit from these starters, but I specifically used for my ESL classroom to allow my ELL's to use for specific situations. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Anna-Crisostomo

Updated checked the links! You just need to cut and paste URL to open. I chose not to make them their own slide with just the video. I have created a unit for home-schoolers. This is basic matter and chemistry information. Each part is a couple of days to a week-long worth of activities. Students can use this as a flipped classroom lesson. These can be adapted from 4th-9th grade I would say since science depending on the state will hit many of these terms for state testing. Adapt to fit your

I have used this for both AZ AIMS 8th grade science review and 7th grade TX level. Get ready for state exam for 8th grade science, this is a fun way to review.

This is 4 days worth of bell work that will cover basic topic of conflict and resolution. I used this with my intermediate ESL students and this would also be great for elementary kiddos since I provide sentence starters. Please realize that my students were 6-8th graders that were beginning to intermediate English Language Learners. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Zealous-Educator

This is a week worth of bellringers that cover multiple standards needed to know for AIMS or other state tests like STAAR. I am an 8th grade science teacher, but those states that test 4th or 5th grade too, these review questions are relevant!!!! I really utilize these PPT to prepare a week's worth of bell work. No question should take longer than 5 minutes to complete. Editable! http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Zealous-Educator
