Star Club – Where you can reach for the stars!!!! This is a club for students who are interested in achieving “above and beyond” the normal classroom expectations. All you have to do is pick a topic from the lists below, learn all about it, and then make an appointment with Mrs. Honstein to share the answers during your recess or lunch break, or before or after school. Don’t forget, answers must be memorized, with the exception of a couple of tasks! You can become a 1 star member, all the way up to a 100 star member! Learning never ends – thank goodness! Get a copy of the challenges here. Honey Bee cards will be issued with each star earned. You will also be included (if you and your parents choose) on Mrs. Honstein’s website showcasing your hard work and achievements. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
