    Would that be GoNoodle? I just signed up today, but haven't tried it yet. We are very lucky standardized testing has not made it down to first grade in our school yet. I am hoping it never does. Looks like your children are having a blast! Maria

    It is not GoNoodle. I did sign up for it, but my classroom computer is too old and won't run it. :( YouTube is not blocked at our school, so I find these on YouTube. Just have to keep the lens blocked until you can click out of the ad. They love it!

    We started testing in first grade last year. I hate it, but I very careful not to stress the kids out over it. We do the Terra Nova tests.

      I would have loved to use GoNoodle with my kids. Maybe if we get upgraded computers someday.

      That sounds like fun, too, Haley. Unfortunately, our playground is a parking lot on a slope. Can't even play ball there. All the balls wind up at the bottom of the big hill.

      You are lucky. We didn't do them for years, then last year the Principal said, oh, by the way, all K! and First Grade will do the Terra Nova tests now. This was a Diocesan decision, not the schools.

      Yes, I said KINDERGARTEN. Crazy.

    We have You Tube access at school too! I just don't turn on my sound or the screen until the ad is over!! I'm sorry you're testing right now! We do ours in the fall! Good luck if you have more testing!

    Thank you! There really is a lot of good, educational things on You Tube. Just have to be careful to screen first.

    We are done with math and reading now. One more day for science and social studies.
