This is a club for
students who are interested in achieving “above and beyond” the normal
classroom expectations. All you have to
do is choose and learn all about the topic, and then tell me the answers during
recess, lunch break, or after school.
You can become a 1 star member, all the way up to an 84 star
member! Once a student earns 16 stars,
he/she becomes a member of the Mastery Club. When students become a member of
the Mastery Club, they will get their name placed on the Mastery Club Hall of
Fame class web page. They will receive
a special certificate at the end of the year for all the stars he/she earned.
