Mastery Club

Welcome to Mastery Club.  This is a club for students who are interested in achieving "above and beyond" the normal classroom expectations.  

There are 86 challenges that students can master.  You and your child can pick one challenge to work on at home.  Take time to go over the challenge, find the answers and go over the answers as much as possible so your child really knows the information.  

Once students feel they are an "expert" in their challenge, they tell me the answers during their recess or lunch break, or before or after school.  Only one challenge per day, please!!!!

Students earn 1 star for each challenge they conquer, all the way up to 86 stars!   

This is optional.  You and your child can take on these extra challenges as you feel it works for your family.  The challenges are meant to be beyond the school day and are for those who want the extra challenge.   The Mastery Club Challenges are also listed in your child's take home folder.
