Young Einstein's Club
Caution:: This is a club for students in Ms. Lopez's class who are interested in achieving "above and beyond"the normal classroom expectations. All you have to do is learn all about a topic, and then make an appointment to demonstrate your brilliance. You can become a 1-star member or achieve even higher levels of greatness!
All you must do is:
Pick a topic - There are many topics to choose from on the list below. Choose one that interests you. You many only do one topic per day. If you do not sufficiently demonstrate (give a good enough report showing) that you understanding that day, you may try again the next day.
Research it: You may use the links provided for the topics, use your own online research, or use books to find out information about the topic.
Study it: You may use your notes to study, but you must memorize the challenge answer! You may give the answer orally (tell me), or in a written format (write it down)...but you will do it without notes.
Demonstrate your understanding: Make an appointment to give me your answer. The times available are before school, during lunch/recess, or after school. Make your appointment using this form. Ensure that you are giving me this appointment at least one day in advance! Once I have confirmed your appointment (agreed to the day and time), you meet with me and either write your answer or verbally tell me your answer (without notes).

STARS & THE HALL OF FAME: Each time you answer a question correctly, you get a star. Your first star gives you entrance into the Young Einsteins Club. When you receive your 30th star, you are now in the Young Einsteins Hall of Fame! This Hall of Fame will be posted in whatever room I am in as long as I am a teacher.
ACCOLADES GO TO: The Young Einstein Club originated from Mrs. Heather Renz, a teacher in Redmond, OR. She designed this club as a way for students to seek out new information and strive to always learn more. While I have adapted the her program to fit our class (along with some inspiration from other teachers using this program), her original design is primarily intact. Thank you Mrs. Renz for allowing us the opportunity to learn through your program!
