Study Island

Today the class was introduced to Study Island! This is a web-based program that focuses on the Third Grade standards. Your child was given two papers to share with you explaining Study Island, which include their username and password. Once your child logs in, they can change their password. The homework for tonight is to take the English Language Arts Pre-Test. As I am new to to the program as well, I don't know how long the Pre-Test will take to complete. I explained to the class that if the Pre-Test takes longer than 30 minutes that reading will be optional for tonight. The children should complete the Pre-Test independently,  as the lessons they complete going forward will be determined by the Pre-Test. As with any homework, if your child has difficulty or is unable to compete it in 30 minutes please let me know.
