MASTERY CLUB- a club for students interested in learning
Mastery Club is a set of challenges that students can "master" by studying a variety of subjects and taking quizzes on them.
In Mr. McCarty's class you are never "done." There is always something you can do, and LEARN!!!
This is a perfect opportunity for students to take responsibility for their own learning and become more KNOWLEDGEABLE!!!
Basic Process for Mastery Club
1) pick a subject off the list of 86
2) find information to complete the challenge from a variety of sources....internet, encyclopedia, text books, etc.
3) study, study, study
4) ask Mr. McCarty to complete the challenge quiz during a time that will not disrupt class (beginning of recess, lunch, after school)
5) pass on the first try and earn a sticker, if not continue to study, study, study!
This club is adapted from a wonderful fourth grade teacher named Mrs. Renz. Check out her website for the link for more information about the club, as well as links that contain information to help you pass the challenges.
