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 in to Mrs. Volk. You can become a 1 point member, all the way up to an 84 point member! Learning never ends, so have fun!

Students will work on this at home. 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. When you are ready to tell me the answers (yes, you must memorize), sign up in the Mastery Club Notebook and I will pull you aside either during free class time or on Fridays. There are 84 possible points you can receive.
10 points = M
20 points = A
30 points = S
40 points = T
50 points = E
60 points = R
70 points = Y
84 points = CLUB!!!

Start today and have fun!
