Mastery Club

Welcome to the Mastery Club

This is a club for students who are interested in achieving "above and beyond" the normal classroom expectations. All you have to do is learn about the topic of your choice, and then turn the answers into the Mastery Club file. You can become a 1 point member, all the way up to an 86 point member! Learning never ends, so have fun! Students will work on this at home and possibly at school, if time permits. You will choose a topic (social studies, science, language arts, math, or miscellaneous) then decide on which area you want to investigate. Some of the topics are very simple to do, and others will take more time. Complete each task on a lined sheet of paper and turn it in the "Mastery Club" file. Make sure to include your name, task number and date on your paper. Each week I will add up your total and keep it in the Mastery Club folder in class. There are 86 possible points you can receive. Each time you have completed 10 tasks correctly, you will earn 2 "Super Yous." Students who reach "The Club (86 points)" will have a special lunch at the end of the year with me.

Start today and have fun!
