After you've practiced strategies, what test prep is best?

During this last week before our high stakes ELA statewide assessment, we are on Spring Break.

Hello planning people?  What were you thinking? The kids are at Disney or playing in backyards or in day camp playing in the sunshine and having lots of fun.  They are tuckered out so they crash at night!

We've practiced the format and talked about the importance of just doing your best....
We've practiced bubbling in dots and determing the best answer from close choices...
We've practice graphic organizers and taked about the importance of reading questinos carefully...

AND NOW?  They get the week off before the test?  They might forget everything we've taught them?
What were you thinking when you made this schedule? 

They're ready with strategies and getting a well deserved break before the days they will need to demonstrate their reading and math proficiency.  I'm sure many of them will use this time to read some really wonderful books on their shelves.  I'm sure they have ones they have been too busy to read!

Were you thinking that reading and resting might be the best thing for all of us? You might be right!
