Mastery Club

The Mastery Club is an optional club for students who are interested in going “above and beyond” the normal classroom expectations. To become a member, choose a topic from the list and learn about it on your own. You may go to the library and look up answers or research it on the internet. When you find the answers, write them down in your Mastery Club notebook.(Have your parents initial it if you do it at home) Then, you can turn it in to Mrs. Ward to be checked. Each correct answer earns you a Mastery Club Star. You can become a 1 Star member, or a 100 Star member.

Good luck, and most of all, have fun!

Before you start;

Always get permission from your parents to use the internet! You may also use dictionaries, encyclopedias, maps or other reference materials. Don’t forget to have your parents sign your paper.

Safety;

I have made every attempt to make sure the links below are safe for children and working properly, but websites may change without warning. Always immediately exit out of any pop-up windows. NEVER click on any advertisements on the web pages, and NEVER register for any special offers. If you find something that you think in inappropriate, or if you find any links that do not work properly, let me k now as soon as possible.
