With the STAAR test looming, students
have been expressing a lot of anxiety on our campus. I saw this bulletin board idea on Danielle Schultz's website, School Counselor Blog, and we decided to try it ourselves! At our weekly
assembly, our principal asked students to give suggestions for ways to
ease these testing woes. We turned their amazing ideas into an inspirational bulletin
board for all students in our school to utilize:
A few of the strategies students shared included: take breaks, get a good night's sleep, positive self-talk, etc.
