Positive Thinking Test Prep Songs

Risa · **Positive Thinking Test Prep Songs** 01-31-2007, 05:28 PM

I had been looking for some quotes that I could use to keep my students thinking positively as they prepare for our state assessments. As I looked through the quotes I also came across some 'affirmations' that triggered ideas for some quickie 'jingles'. Sooooo... I tinkered with some thoughts and came up with these songs that my school is using in our assemblies to get our students to start thinking positively about the upcoming tests.

This is an attachment created on Microsoft Word. There are three 'songs' that are written to the tunes of (1) Twinkle, Twinkle, (2) This Old Man, and (3) Itsy-Bitsy Spider

As always, I figure if it's something I had been looking for, others will find them useful, too! Hope so!

Thanks for all the compliments and replies! I had a feeling that others of you might like these! I just learned that more schools in my district are going to be using them, too!

I posted these for ProTeachers members because these are the teachers who have helped me with so many of their wonderful ideas! I guess some may not agree with my reasoning... but it's VERY EASY to become a member.

This is just what I've been looking for all morning!! It's perfect for the 1st - 3rd graders preparing for the Terra Nova tests. Thanks!

Do you think it's too young for 5th grade?

Hello!

I joined pro teacher so that I may be able to view your songs. I think something may be wrong because I cannot view them. Can you give any advice?

Susan Teacher · **Songs for fifth** 04-30-2008, 02:18 PM

Nope...I am going to use them for my fifth graders. I am also making a bulletin board to motivate them, too. I am going to have them write test tips, poems about tests, feelings about the tests, etc. to decorate it. I bought some pompom type leis from Target and put around an orange background. Then I cut out different colored construction paper 3s and 4s (that's what NC scores are expected) with die cut machince and put those all around. It's cute even without any words! I will be glad to send a picture if someone wants! :-) Happy testing!

3rd and 5th graders in Chesapeake, VA are enjoying your poems and songs! Thanks so much - very creative!

I have the same problem as teachme216, I have signed up so that I can view these songs as they sound great, but I still can not view them

Would you be able to post them on this bulletin on a message so that everyone who has just signed up can still see them?

crlteach · **Thank you** 12-04-2008, 04:29 AM

Your songs are great and very motivational...I look forward to using them with my 3rd grade students to keep their thoughts high for the upcoming testing
