**My Product Review**

The product I reviewed is from Jessica at Literacy Spark. We teach together, so I get to use tons of her products all year; this is the just the latest in her awesome creations :) 

At my school in Texas, we are getting ready for the STAAR test for our fourth graders. STAAR stands for State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, so the test is our state-wide standardized test. In third grade, students are tested in Reading and Math. In Fourth grade, students are tested in Writing, Reading, and Math. Bleh! We try to make it fun, so the theme this year is "CRUSH THE STAAR" and we used the game Candy Crush as inspiration. 

The finished product: Crush the STAAR candy bouquet centerpiece 

Each team was challenged to create something motivational to go with the theme to display during our STAAR training. So the second grade team used Literacy Spark's Test Prep Candy Phrases  plus tons of candy and craft supplies to create the ultimate candy bouquet centerpiece. Needless to say, second grade "crushed" the competition! A few more pictures are below:

Luckily second graders do not take the STAAR test, but these labels are super cute and easily used with specific candies to give to students as motivators, rewards, holiday gifts, etc. Just print in color on thick paper, like cardstock, laminate if you want them to last a long time, and stick to the candy. We used hot glue, and curled ribbon to dress it up. 

Here is another picture to show all the different labels:
