StudySync Blasts engage students in critical thinking activities. By integrating the knowledge they've gained throughout the week, students will respond to fun, thought-provoking questions that will enhance their reading, writing, and research skills through a digital platform.

Note: StudySync Blasts are only available for Wonders Grades 2-6/copyrights 2020 and 2023. 

If students are receiving a message when they launch into their StudySync Blast assignment that they do not yet have access, this means that the teacher has not yet accessed the StudySync site as a teacher. To do so, the teacher needs to click on any of the available StudySync Blast resources.

 

Locating the StudySync Blasts:

1. Click on the Teacher Edition of Wonders



2. Hover over Resources in the Navigation Menu. Select Resource Library from the drop-down menu.



3. On the Keyword tab, select the Unit and Week you want the StudySync Blast for. 

4. Click the Search button to filter the resources to your selection.



Note: If the grade level of material you are accessing has 10 days of lessons, the Blasts are only found for the first of the two weeks of lessons. This means that the Blasts can be found for Weeks 1, 3, and 5 for each Unit.

Example: Unit 1 Week 1 has Weekly Lessons for Days 1-5, while Unit 1 Week 2 has Weekly Lessons for Days 6-10. You will want to select Unit 1 Week 1 from the drop-down menus to find the StudySync Blasts.

5. Click on StudySync from the resource filter menu.
