Twas the nite before the ELA
Twas the nite before the ELA and all nerves were around the pencils were sharpened and tests were still bound
The students were sleeping not a worry in their heads for they didnt know of pressure from NYSED
The teachers were concerned for they were pondering the thought "What more could I have done, what else should I have taught?"
"Should I again have gone over the key words and bubbles? I wish that those little circles were the least of my troubles!"
"They read and they listened. They undelined and wrote. I practically shoved reading skills right down their throat!!!"
And still the teacher pondered and reviewed and thought Was there anything else to be studied? Any workbooks that could have been bought?
So as test time fast approaches and the students wake up The teacher picks up the packets and sets the desks up
The quiet in the room brings the teacher to tears Praying and hoping their students would rest all fears
And when the first student enters the room with a smile the teacher can relax and be distracted for a while
To the bathroom, to the bathroom off you go, hurry up!!! Clear off your desks Put away all your stuff.
With a deep sigh and a silent prayer the teacher passes out pencils hoping the knowledge is still there
"Turn to page 1 and begin the test" The teacher walks around There's no time to rest!
Check the bubbles, check the names Look for skipping and for errors The teachers across NY states were still the test bearers
At the ten minute mark they are almost done Only bit more to go as for Book 1
"Pencils Down! The test is over" The teacher states The audible sigh from the class reverbrates
First collect the packets then take back the pencils Don't get too relaxed No time to rest on your laurels
For tomorrow again the teacher will pay The price of teaching a class that takes the ELA!!!
