“It [competitions] was great. I made monthly competitions, and we not only battled students from the same grade level, but I invited our 4th and 5th grade classes to compete with my 3rd grade classes. My students LOVED it when they beat the older kids!”

“At the beginning of the competition my students were all hyped up and determined to win. They all got on board and were really pushing to do their best to win. If your class is driven by competition, it is very impactful, because it shows you exactly what your students are capable of doing. Your students show you their best when they are striving to pass up their friends. You may only see casual practice most of the time, but if you want a true understanding of what they are capable of, competitions will show you.”

“Students wanted to get their green light on the weekends just to beat the other class! I have less students, so it seemed harder to get them into first place. It would be great to also include the time it takes to get their green light to keep kids focused and working with effort and not wasting time to get their green light. I would also like to see a competition in the classroom for those for speed and accuracy.”
