Mastery Club

We have had parents request additional challenges for their children over and above what is going on in school. This year we are tapping into the Mastery Club encouraged by other teachers across the US, stretching our students' overall knowledge. Students have a list of the challenges. They can collect this information to study in any way, but can get into the Student Section of mrsrenz.net, where additional help is provided.

Each time a student passes a written challenge, his/her name will be placed on the bulletin board in the hall. Students that accomplish 16 challenges over the course of the year will have their names and the date of the accomplishment hanging in a prominent place in the hallway. Hopefully, they will be able to visit years down the way and still see their name! We will also have some kind of recognition that they will be able to display at home.

Participation is not a requirement for any student. Just strongly encouraged.

There is now a link on the right side of this page that says Mastery Challenges. Click on the link and scroll down to all 86 challenges.
