Dear Third Grade Families,
Today we logged in to the online component of our Social Studies curriculum for the first time! The students seem very excited to try it at home, so I wanted to give a few instructions.
The website can be found here, although most students saved it to their home screen: https://app.studiesweekly.com//online/
Students can log in using their username and password. They should already know it, but if not, it’s written on the inside of their social studies notebook which they are welcome to take home.
Although students technically have access to the whole year’s curriculum, I ask that they only reread articles that we have already read in class. In this case, they are only clicking on Week 1. Each time they read an article, they can earn virtual coins that they can then trade in to decorate their virtual class pet’s cage. They can also play games involving the academic vocabulary each week. Lastly, they can take a test online to see how well they know the material. This will not always be available each week and it is not graded.
If you have any questions, please let me know!
Have a great evening,
Mrs. Galarza
