PSSA Fun Day

Today was PSSA Fun day at school. The Home & School sets up an event to give the kids a fun day after spending so much time on the standardized tests. Even though the second graders don’t take the PSSAs, their schedule is altered a bit because of the other grades taking the tests so they get to participate. There were a number of stations, most with some sort of inflatable, and I volunteered to help out. This was my station. Can you believe this crazy thing? have never seen such a large inflatable in my life. It was literally like an obstacle course inside with things to climb over, go around and slide on. My job was basically to tell the pairs of kids when to go in so they would be timed right and not all in there at the same time.
Here’s Sam! She said it was really hard to do some of it, mostly because it was horribly hot that day and they were all sweaty and sticky. She had a blast though! I was wondering what she thought about the PSSAs and if she was dreading it or didn’t really care. She doesn’t seem to be that stressed about it happening next year, which is good. She doesn’t like tests, even though she usually does pretty well. I tried to emphasize that they are not anything to worry about and I think the school does a good job of that too. We’ll see next year!
