Join the Mastery Club!

If you have a thirst for knowledge and a very hungry brain, this will help you learn a lot of useful (and interesting!) information! This is a club for students who are interested in achieving "above and beyond" the normal classroom expectations. All you have to do is learn all about a topic, write it down, and come tell Mrs. Corderman at center time or recess. You can become a 1 star member, all the way to an 85 star member. If you become a 20 star member, you will be on Mrs. Corderman's Wall of Fame which will stay on the wall until I retire. Learning never ends, thank goodness!! I encourage everyone to take the challenge! THE CHALLENGES....
