Bubble gum and spelling!?!

Students were THRILLED to have a special treat during our spelling "check up" yesterday. I shared with them that brain research has shown students can perform better on certain tests/quizzes when they chew gum. It's true! So, as a special treat, students can chew gum when they take their "check up" on Friday. They were VERY excited about this! To quote one student: "I really didn't think this would work, but it did!"
