Rating
0.0 stars

Developed in association with child psychologists, BIG TEST Success enhances test performance by using humor to teach kids how to cope with test anxiety. When Kenny and Page are “accidentally” zapped directly into the brain of an anxious kid, they help him cope from the inside out with deep breathing exercises, relaxation techniques and positive visualization skills. The series of 15 short (3 minutes each) videos helps kids deal with worry, negative voices, perfectionism, fear, and procrastination.

This lesson utilizes the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation (UIT) tale, “Why Buzzard Is a Loner” to enhance comprehension skills, provide an introduction to the importance of personal hygiene and drama. Although some Native American Indian stories can only be told during the winter time, this story can be told any time of the year. The tale will be read aloud to the students who will then dramatize the story as it is read again. Then students will have a presentation from a health practitioner, school counselor or the school nurse on healthy teeth maintenance (i.e., brushing, flossing, rinsing, etc.)Extensions include learning more about birds in Utah and lessons that give more information about the Ute people. The cultural note states, “Just as the birds in this story held a council meeting to decide how to deal with Buzzard. Ute people, to this day, have council meetings to discuss problems and solutions for their people. At these meetings, everyone has the right to express his or her opinion and be heard and listened to.”
