By: Andy Schultheis

 Here at Adventure we prepare for state testing by making games and playing games. We all had to make a game to give tips. Most people made a Jeopardy style game. Then we all played the games. It helped us to prepare for the test, during the test, and for stress.This a very fun way to study.

CST It's Dynamite!

Hey people!!! As you know the CST is on April 23, 2012. And some of you are anxious about it, don't worry! I know how it feels and i made a song with my friend Noellonnie Shaw.

Test Anxieties And Test Takin’ TipsBased On: Yonkers By Tyler The Creator  
Verse 1Ima sleepwalkin’ test freak, stayed up, up all night. Only 3 hours worth of sleep. Walkin in the class like a zombie, so much anxiety. I know you pity for but don’t mess wit’ me… 
(Beat) 
Next time, get some sleep, when it comes to the CST, you will be the best. But, If you got no sleep you will be fast asleep, sing your self a lullaby and your grade will be cheaper than a rusty ol’ jeep. 
(Beat) 
Verse 2 On the test, make sure not to guess you never know if that was the easiest one. Guessin ain’t really the best, your grade can sink like the titanic. So do your personal best, always use your wits, that’s why you got a brain. If you do this you will be a beast. 
(Beat) 
Verse 3 On the CST, if none of these work, try to eat, avoid sugars or you might be the hulk, in a bulk bein’ all mad and might even destroy your own test. Failed, kaput, grade is nothing but a fail, not even funny because it’s an epic fail. 
(Beat)    
Verse 4 Always take your time, you never know if you skipped a problem, forgot to read, and rushed through like Rob Gronkowski to the end zone. Read all the problems, check your work. 
Verse 5 Before the test, make sure you study and sharpen your brain or it will be dull like a ducks beak. If you don’t know how study, go to me and I’ll tell you how.

Teach me how to study hey
(2)Teach me how to study! Teach, teach me how to study hey!You ain’t messing with my study! I be like Ricardo (what?)Can you teach me how to Study? You know why ‘cause all the teachers love it. All you need is a book that’s super stuntin’, and you, you, you back it up and study. Put you book up front and review them subjects. All The teachers are gonna like it when they see you hit that study right, I go by Bubba and I saw him past that test (That test) Teach me how to study, teach, teach me how to study, hey! (2)All the teachers love it, All, all the teachers love it. (2)You ain’t messing with my study! End


So basically this song teaches you how to over come test taking fears.
1)Get good sleep
2)Study before the test
3)Know when the test is coming
4)Eat during the test but avoid sugars
5)Be confident


How to get your personal best on CST

2)Skip hard questions and do them later
3)Don't guess


Ok so that's it! 

Reaction To Science Camp By: Andy Schultheis

Reaction To Science Camp By: Andy Schultheis

Over spring break the sixth graders went Walden West the Outdoor School or known as Science Camp. I went around asking about there science reaction. I asked Jillian Kreifels, "If you could describe Science Camp, how would you describe it?" She said "It was a fun, and a never forgetting experience." The most common thing they learned was that scat means poop. Now for something less awkward, suggestions for next years campers. The first thing is bring two pairs of shoes. Then, don't fall out of bed, it hurts. Finally the last thing drink a lot of water. Thank you for reading.
