STUDY ISLAND UPDATE

We now in full swing with Study Island.  It's hard to believe that it is that time of year again, but considering the winter we have been having in OH, I am glad!!!  I talked about Study Island in this post, a few weeks ago and wanted to give an update now that we are moving along with it.

We finished our hallway display this week.  My very talented co-worker and friend, Kari, came up with a great Treasure Hunt theme!  It is great to have an island feel in our hallway, to get us through the next few weeks of this LOOOONG winter!

Our 6th grade hallway is now transformed into a Treasure Map.

Each student has a boat that travels down the hall for each Reading blue ribbon that they earn, beginning at the palm tree in the first picture (you can see that some of them are already moving their boats along) and ending at the Treasure Chest in the last picture (this didn't turn out so well in the picture, but it is the black box on the right side of the picture).  Additionally, students can earn stickers to decorate their boats for each blue ribbon earned in Math, and they will earn gold coins for the treasure chest for each Science blue ribbon.

Along the way, students make stops at different ocean themed spots, such as:

Students are excited about this, and are asking daily to move their boats, add coins to the treasure chest, and/ or add stickers to decorate their boats.  I will share another update as students begin to move along.
We are also kicking around the idea of doing a Study Island Party/ Assembly after our state testing.  We have given a pizza party as a reward in the past, but we are trying to do something different this year, and would really like to go all out!  I would love some ideas!!!!
