Wixie's Month-by-Month activities make it easy to integrate technology

Students can always create in Wixie starting from a blank page! But many students (and teachers) work best with more direction. The Month-by-Month activities in Wixie’s Curriculum Activities library provide this direction and make it easy to integrate technology into daily classroom learning.

The Month-by-Month activities connect to holidays and events throughout the year, while also addressing standards and classroom learning goals. For example, you will find:


Finding Wixie's Month-by-Month activities

To explore the Month-by-Month activities, log in to your teacher account. Open the Curriculum Activities library on the left, open the Month-by-Month folder, and browse the activities for each month.

You can also type the name of the month or holiday in the search field at the top.

Note: The templates you find will depend on the grade level(s) selected in your Wixie settings. To adjust the grade levels, select the profile icon and choose Settings. Choose the grade levels you want to see for activities, templates and supporting resources.

Students can use this same process to find and open Month-by-Month activities. However, if you assign the activity to them, it shows at the top of their Wixie home page when they log in, making it easy to get started working right away!

It's easy to make technology integration part of classroom learning

The Month-by-Month activities are easy ways to make technology part of daily classroom learning. The activities in the Month-by-Month folder are also perfect when you need a last-minute activity to fill out your day or a task to engage learners with a substitute teacher.

Since many of the Month-by-Month activities involve simple skills such as drag-and-drop, labeling, and painting, they are great ways to help students build skills essential for online testing!
