Whiz Kid Club

Join the Whiz Kid Club!

Can you learn and have fun at the same time? Join the Whiz Kid Club and do a few activities every week. Each time you turn in your Whiz Kid Club Folder with a question answered you will receive one point. There's a total of 85 points you can make. At the end of the year I will total your points. You can complete these activities at school or at home on your computer. You must have an internet connection and your parents permission to complete the Whiz Kid Club questions. There are lists to make in Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Miscellaneous subjects. There are games to play in math. You can learn about the different themes and have fun.

Each child reaching 20 points will be invited to an ice cream party at the end of the year.  

The 3 students with the top points at the end of the year will receive a special prize!

A special thanks goes to Mrs. Renz* from Redmond, Oregon for this fabulous idea.
