Hi Krista!!! My district does not exactly "do" the student led conferences…but I persuaded my principal to let me a couple years ago and will never turn back! :)
(I had research to back up my claims!) :)

I love student-led conferences. I wish that we did them in my current district as I know they are so incredibly valuable for both the student and their parents! Thanks for sharing!

We provide breakfast for every student during the testing period and snacks too. We also give them mints which are meant to "wake up their brains."

We also partner up with 2 teachers from the lower grades and they come in and do cheers, give little notes and a treat during the week before testing.

I love the ideas and packs that you have here!!!

Often there's enough for everyone to have a snack before the tests and during. They love the idea of eating during (as long as they're careful not to drop anything on the actual test. I actually had a few kids disappointed when we finished testing b/c it meant no more snacks while working.

You are so good about the tests. I just talked to my kids about trying their best. I bet your fun motivators help with the anxiety problems. I had a girl today who was taking deep breaths as I handed out the packets. I heard her telling another student that she just wanted to get it over with soon. I hate that she was sick to her stomach because of the tests. Maybe I can quick put something together for tomorrow's tests. Thanks for sharing.
