Twitter

Good morning!  We have begun "tweeting" in our classroom.  No, we are not going on Twitter during school hours, but we are posting our thoughts on a board and treating it like Twitter.  The students have posted the following "tweets":

Question:  What are your feelings about FCAT next week?  Do you feel prepared?  If not, what can you do to feel prepared by Monday?   (April 12, 2012)

• I feel pressured over the FCAT because my mom expects 5's and 6's.  The only way I can be ready is if I "chill out" because when I get the test I make the easy questions harder and get it wrong.  - Jenisa
• I feel ok on the FCAT.  I think I will be a 5 on the evil test to get the 5 I will get rest.  - Cody
