As the new academic year approaches, we wanted to share with you some useful links we know will help you and your colleagues get started in 2023. In the post we'll cover account setup for Purple Mash admins, including data syncing and adding new classes; plus, we'll share useful tools and teacher resources to help you feel prepared at the start of the new year.

This year, the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, or Chanukah, runs from Sunday 18th December to the evening of Monday 26th December. Here at 2Simple, we're celebrating Chanukah using Purple Mash and have several resources for you to use in your classrooms to celebrate this holiday.

Each month we will be highlighting a #MashoftheMonth. This will focus on a tool or application within Purple Mash and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum. During the month, if you share how you have used #MashoftheMonth, you will then be entered into a draw to win a 2Simple Goody bag!
