Type In, Or Print
Click the For line on any note and type a name, then print. Or print and write by hand. The notes have dark outlines and dark text, so they also copy in black and white or on colored paper. This is a fillable PDF; it is not a Google Slides or PowerPoint file.
Who This Is For
Classroom teachers, special education teachers, counselors and aides who want a kind word on every desk during test week, grades K-6.
What This Is, And What It Is Not
Short, kind messages and the pages to plan and track them. No candy or brand names to buy. The notes make no promise about scores, and this is not a test preparation program or advice on test anxiety. Check your school's and state's rules for what may be on a desk during a test. The example students are invented and are labeled that way on the page. Clip art by Whimsy Clips.
