Mastery Club
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 Answer Sheet (have your parents initial it if you do it at home). Then, you can turn your it into Ms. Russell to be checked. Each correct answer earns you a Mastery Club Star. You can become a 1 Star member all the way up to a 100 Star member. There are two mastery levels. Every time you earn 15 stars you get to choose a prize. *Mastery Club was designed and created by Mrs. Renz. You can visit her web site at http://redmond.k12.or.us/patrick/renz/ *Thanks Mrs. Renz for designing this challenge activity and for letting me use it in my classroom! Good luck and have fun!
