New Math Homework! Study Island

Starting Monday, January 24th the 3rd grade will be assigning Study Island for math homework on Monday and Wednesday evenings.

What is Study Island?
Web-based instruction
Rigorous academic content that is both fun and engaging research-based with proven results for all students
Easy to use at home

Using your home computer do the following:
Go to: http://www.studyisland.com/ (Or click on the Study Island link to the right)
Your child will type in his or her UserName & Password (Students will write UserName & Password in Planner)
Click on assignment with check mark: For example: "Place Value"
Click on Test Mode
Change the Number of questions to 10
Click on Next
Begin assignment

Students must make a 70% to count as a completed test. If a student does not make a 70% on test, then they must click the number of questions button for another set of 10 questions. Once a 70% has been accomplished on at least one test assignment, students are able to play the game.

We realize that unforeseen circumstances may happen where your child may be unable to use the home computer from time to time. Please notify your child's teacher to work out a solution.
