Thursday was test day. Writing test day. We were given a prompt and each student had to write and draw about the prompt. Before I gave the student their prompt I reminded each student of how smart they were and how I knew they were going to do great on their test! After their pep talk I gave each student some brain sprinkles!
They had to close their eyes as I sprinkled their brain and tell themselves how smart they were!
After a little while of working and I noticed the students were finished I let the students know they had a few more minutes to work.
One student started to cry so I quickly walked over to him and asked him what was wrong. He told me that he didn't have his sentence yet. I encouraged him and suggested some more brain sprinkles. He said in a very pouty voice, "no, because those things don't even work!"
I told him that they do actually work but maybe he just needed a little more. I gave him some more and made sure to rub them in this time!!!!
I plan to use the brain sprinkles more because by the end of the day I had a student come up to me and say, "Ms. Brown, I think those sprinkles are growing in my brain."
