The final few weeks of school ended with testing. Yay! (Cue sarcasm). I don't know if I would prefer teaching until the last day of school or to having testing. A colleague of mine likens proctoring a state test to brain jail. As a proctor you're to actively watch the students as they test. We (teachers) can't sit, we can't read, we can't say anything outside of the testing script... we can't do anything for hours of the day as the kiddies test their hearts out. So, in attempts to pass the time and to not feel like my brain is in jail I've come up with some things to do while proctoring. Feel free to add to the list (below are just a few of my favourite activities):
101. Each time a student drops a pencil or pen squat in the back of the room 4 times
100. Count how many times you can walk around the room in an hour
76. Test out your mind reading skills on a student in a class
98. Change the time on the board every 10 minutes
97. Say the alphabet backwards
52. Name all the teachers you've ever had in order from kindergarten to senior year of high school
48. Name all the winners of America's Next Top Model in descending order
40. 1001 books to read before I die
