SPOT Club

Sullivan's Power of Thinking Club will be introduced next week!  The link is up to the right! I'm looking forward to the students' expanding their knowledge.

Power of Thinking Club - Students demonstrate the power of their brains and go “above and beyond” the learning that takes place in the classroom on a daily basis.

o   Available to all students in 4th grade

o   Students are challenged by choice to answer up to 91 questions that have a variety of topics and allow for mastery of new knowledge.  Club time will take place during recess, lunch recess and at home if the student wishes to research and learn answers at that time.  Students come to me to answer the questions from their memory (again during recess or lunch recess).  If they are correct, they are awarded a point, if not they may try again the next school day.  Students who reach 16 points will be inducted into the Power of Thinking Hall of Fame which will always remain in the classroom.

o   Five Areas of Study

§  Social Studies

§  Science

§  Math

§  Language

§  Miscellaneous
Thanks for supporting your student in their efforts.  Remember, this is a challenge by choice club and not a requirement.
