What is the Mastery Club?
    The Mastery Club is for students who are interested in going "above and beyond" the learning we do in the classroom. Students who are interested may choose from the topics below to expand their knowledge.  Each participant will be responsible for his or her own research for this project.  Activity research can be done both at school and home. 
Who can become a member?
      Everyone!  Participation is your choice. 

Mastery Club Members

How do I become a member of the Mastery Club?
     To become a member, choose a question from the lists below that interests you.  Do some research to learn the answer, then share your new found knowledge with Mrs. Grover.  You can see me with your answer before or after school, at recess, or during lunch break.  (For some of the challenges there are specific answer sheets you will need to pick up from the challenge bin.)  You can become a 1 star member by answering one question correctly, or keep going to really build those brain wrinkles and work your way all the way up to an 84 star member. 
What is the Mastery Club Hall of Fame?
    The Hall of Fame is for anyone who really wants to put more into their learning.  In order to become a member of the Mastery Club Hall of Fame you must answer 16 questions correctly. 
     Once you enter the Hall of Fame, your name will remain in place for as long as I am teaching.

Mastery Club Hall of Fame

Learning takes place anywhere, all the time and at any age.  Keep reaching for new knowledge!
