Study Island Competition

 
I'm not a very competitive person myself, but many of my students are.   I wanted to find a cute, visual way to monitor students' progress on Study Island.  It also needed to be easy. 
 
I found this serene island poster at Target for a few dollars.  Each student was asked to color in a clip art sailboat.  As students pass topics on Study Island, they get to move their sailboat closer and closer to the island. 
 
The students were very excited to work hard, pass topics, and move that sailboat along.  Why?  Anyone who made it to the island got to come to a pizza party.  Yum!
 
What the Teacher Learned:  Tracking student progress is helpful to both the teacher and the student!
