We are a little over half way in our Study Island Challenge, so I wanted to share a progress update. I originally shared about Study Island in this post, and I shared early progress here. The students are doing very well, and there are a few that are completely finished! At our school, we have Study Island for Math, Reading and Science in sixth grade. Our display is a treasure map, and students move their boats along the map to show progress for reading, add stickers to their boat for each math blue ribbon they earn, and they are "filling the treasure chest" with gold coins for each blue ribbon they earn in science. The students are really enjoying the interactive display. They love moving their boat and adding coins to the display to chart their progress. I think that it is really motivating them to work harder. They don't want to see their friends' boats ahead of them, or someone with more coins than they have. We will be doing this for 4 more weeks, and will finish just in time for our OAA test the first week of May, so I will share one more time toward the end.
