Brain Boosters Club
Earn a place on the Brain Boosters Club Hall of Fame... pick something you want to know more about... then do the research, with your parents permission, and bring me a summary of what you learned. Ten summaries will get you on the Hall of Fame Wall as a student that goes above and beyond the minimum learning. On the math sites, print out the certificate and bring it for me to see, then take it home.
The links will let you leave my site... the internet is ever changing, so parents are encouraged to work
with your child as the delve into their own learning. Should you encounter a link that is not working email me at alison.estrada@hotmail.com
