The Amazing Scribblers challenge club

This is an exciting club for students who are interested in going "above and beyond" the normal classroom expectations. It is a way to challenge the students and keep their brains active! I hope to inspire everyone to learn new things all the time--learning never ends! To become a member, choose a topic from from below. Click on the link and study until you know you've got the information in your head. Keep track of all your completed tasks on the progress chart. Everytime you complete a task you will earn a gold star on the progress chart.You can be a 1 star member, all the way up to a 100 star member. Once you have earned 75 stars you will be entered into the Amazing Scribblers challenge club Hall of Fame! This Hall of Fame will be displayed in my classroom until I retire! Good Luck and have fun!!!
