We're beginning to creatively find new ways at our school to make time daily for student practice with the ThinkLink practice probes. My second graders have gone from "test anxiety" to "test-me-first-pleasure" as they are individually called upon to practice using the test probes. It seems that once the students realized that the scores from these reports were not going home on a report card, they relaxed and began eagerly reviewing the results of their individual practice, working even harder to answer all questions correctly.
How do you weave in time for your ThinkLink practice with your daily lesson plans? Does your school have a tool for tracking individual student progress? Thanks for sharing your experiences and comments with me!
