⭐Desk Notes and Treat Tags

There are 35 desk notes/treat tags you can print and leave on students’ desks with a small treat each day. I added a page that lists the tags with treat ideas to include with each one. I’ve also included black and white versions of the desk notes. Save printer ink by printing the black and white desk notes on brightly colored paper.

⭐Parent Involvement Letter

Unfortunately, in this day and time testing is a reality, and as educators, we must prepare students for standardized testing. Some students get very stressed during this time. We often try to comfort our students by saying, “Don’t worry. You’ve got this!” or, “Just do your best!” However, I think it’s important to encourage parent engagement as well.

Included in this download is a note you can send home to parents requesting that they join you in easing the stress of testing at school.

Parents are asked to write a short note of encouragement and send a picture (no larger than a 5 x 7) to be displayed in the classroom during testing sessions. I have done this for years in my 4th grade classroom, and students love reading all the notes from parents, as well as sharing their own. Easily create a classroom bulletin board with your encouragement notes from parents! (see the preview for a closer look)

These testing treat tags are perfect for…

• Special Treats During State Testing Week
• Testing Motivation

The best part?

These encouraging and motivational desk notes and treat tags are set up in an easy-to-print file with helpful tips for printing. I've also included a list of all notes with treat/snack suggestions.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My first-grade class adopts a fifth-grade class during state testing, so we used these handouts to leave our testing buddies treats throughout their testing windows. The product was well organized and easy to find both the treats I needed to buy and the corresponding tags. - Sarah O.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love to do what I can for my students to show my support and my belief in them. These encouraging notes were a great way to give them a little confidence boost before state testing. This resource had a variety of options and was easy to print. Thanks! - Bianca T.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My students loved these special treats I made them during testing week. This resource was simple and ready to use. I didn’t have time to create these fun labels during the busiest time of the year. Everything was ready for me. All I had to do was print and add the treat to make my students feel special during a stressful time. - Cassie U.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was/is a very thoughtful and caring product. It is fun, engaging, and really picks up students' morale. I used it any time I gave a quiz or test. The best part is that some of these notes are good for any reason at all. For example: 'Razzle me with your knowledge', 'You are one smart cookie', 'You are a starburst of knowledge', etc ... These can be used just to give a child a pick-me-up when needed. This is a great SEL activity. Thank you! - Teddy I Love
