Glow Day Classroom Transformation, Decorations, and Station Activities to Prepare Your Students for State Testing

I’ve done Glow Day almost every year before state testing (except for last year, as I was on maternity leave), and it’s probably my favorite day of the school year ever. I completely transform the classroom and we spend an entire block playing games and preparing for the STAAR test. My kids have a blast and I have fun watching and interacting with them!

Although I personally use this to prepare for our state test, many educators have been purchasing this resource for use year-round. So, it’s totally feasible to use it to prepare for any test, or just when you want a fun way to review reading test taking strategies.

Keep reading to learn all about it!

🌟Your students will get to take a break from all the test-prep WHILE still being productive

We all know testing season can be brutal, and while it’s important to prepare them and practice strategies and whatnot, it can become kind of bland after a while. This Glow Day resource will allow your kids to have some much-needed fun before taking a big state test.

🌟It’s editable

As stated before, this resource is editable. There is a version included that uses a poem, and so has some questions for that, but a recently-updated version is now included that allows you to add your own passage and your own questions so that you know with certainty that it’s what your students need.

🌟Decorations are included

If you want to put a little bit of extra pizzazz into your day, there are banners and posters included that will make your Glow Day shine a little brighter.

Praise for Glow Day

Have fun!

If you use this for your classroom, I would ✨LOVE✨ to see pictures of you and your kids in action! Tag me on TikTok or Instagram! My handle is @teachandachieve on both platforms.

Until next time!
