Challenge Club

                         Welcome to the Challenge Club!

(Caution: This club is only for students wishing to get smarter, go above and beyond, impress their teachers, parents, and classmates)

This is a club for students who are interested in exploring and learning more, getting smarter, and having fun doing this. All you have to do is learn all about the topic, and then come tell Mrs. Newell the answers during your recess, or before or after school. You can become a 1 star member, all the way up to an 47 star member! Learning never ends and your journey to becoming a life-long learner begins here!

Getting Started:
To get started choose any question below. You do not have to do them in order, and you may research the topics using reference books or the following web sites. Your work may be done in school or at home. When you feel you have mastered the content, let me know.  (Remember to give me the question AND answer!)

Be a smart internet researcher! I have made every attempt to ensure that the content on the following links is appropriate for students. However, please remember to practice safety rules when using the internet! Do not respond to any pop-up advertisements or promotions. Exit out of them immediately. Please tell an adult if you see anything you think is inappropriate.
