Study Island Challenge
Our class loves a challenge! Since Reading Olympics has been such a success, I decided to start a Study Island Challenge at the end of February. This is an ongoing extra credit assignment. Here was the challenge that was sent home:

In our class, students have mentioned their overwhelming MCAS test anxiety since the very beginning of the year. To help ease their anxiety, each student needs to feel more confident in their abilities! Tests do not define us, but they are a part of life and school. Study Island can be a great tool to cultivate students' test taking skills. By gaining exposure to Study Island, students will ideally feel less anxious and more confident. Study Island is also a great way for parents to see how their child is progressing (or even struggling) in various areas.
