    (for those who like challenging fun)

albert-einstein.jpg

This club is for students who are interested in going "above and beyond" the normal classroom expectations.  To become a member of the club, students pick from the list of challenges and learn  all about that topic.  You can use any resources at school or home. Many of the topics have websites listed that can be of assistance. When you feel you have mastered the challenge, set up a time with Mrs. Wolf to "test" your knowledge. This can be done before/after school, recess or other free time. Any student can participate, and these challenges can be done in any order. Achieve one star or all 86! When a student achieves 16 stars they will be placed on Mrs. Wolf's Wall of Fame and will remain there until she retires!!

Learning Never Ends!!

Note to students: Caution--- participation in this club may make you smarter and impress your teacher and your parents. Make sure you practice internet safety. Never click on pop up ads.

Note to Parents: Every effort has been taken to check out all the websites listed to make sure they are safe and family friendly.

Thank you, Mrs.Renz!
