Put together a special bag of goodies for the day your child takes the TAKS Test. If you don’t live in Texas, but have a similar test, encourage your child by making them a Test Survival Kit!
Items in TAKS Survival Kit:
Smarties – To Boost Your Test Taking Brain Power!
Pencil – To Help You Record the Knowledge You’ve Learned!
Sticker – To Remind You To Stick to Your Task!
Eraser – To Use When You Check Your Work!
Kiss or Hug – For All Your Hard Work!
Pencil Grip – To Get A Grip On The Test!
Print out and attach the above cards to its corresponding item and place them in a gift bag or other type of container. (It can be as elaborate or as simple as you wish.)
Don’t forget to include an inspirational letter! This is just a reminder of your love and support as your child takes the TAKS test.
Have your teacher place it on your child’s desk as a surprise from you on test day. You can also include other special items like snacks, a new book to read after the test, small trinkets, and notes from other family members, etc.
You can print out these cute cards for free on Executive Homemaker.

As a teacher may I suggest that if you aren’t able to do this for every child in the class that you present this gift at home?
I think it’s a great idea and will surely help the child it’s presented too, but other children may feel left out and sad which can reflect in poor performance on their tests.
Just a thought.
this is too cute!
We started standardized testing today as well and it is always a hectic stressful time for the kids.
I think this is fab Laurie. I will do this for Lexi’s class during Tcaps!
Great idea! But, like the first poster said, I think I would give mine to my child at home unless I was planning on giving one to everyone in the class.
This is really cute. I will have to remember this for next year.
