BRAIN BOOSTERS CLUB

Please be aware that the links below will navigate you away from my class website. The websites and their content are not associated with or endorsed by me, our school, or our county. Please preview each site before allowing your child access. Content and websites on the internet change frequently!

This is a club for students who are interested in going above and beyond the normal classroom expectations. 
All you have to do is learn all about the topic on your own.
So, you might want to head off to the library or check out the websites below. 
Find the answers, write them down neatly, STUDY, drop your answer in our Brain Boosters Club box and be ready for a very short oral quiz.

You can become a 1-star member all the way up to an 80-star member! 

Once you have earned 15 stars you will be entered into the Brain Boosters Club Hall of Fame! 

(You will have your name on the wall in my classroom as long as I am teaching at TPES)
Good Luck and have fun!
