I used it this year
By Jennifer

I tried the mastery club this year as a home extension option for my 2nd graders (I had a high-ability class this year). The kids said everything orally and I only let them tell me at recess or after their work was completed
(if I wasn't busy with another student). If they were correct they put a sticker on the chart by their name. I think it is great, but I only had one student stay involved in it all year. I will have student computers in my room this year so I may try to add it as an extension option for higher students.

I was worried about management also, but it didn't really take up too

much time. I had considered letting them write answers down and turn them in, but then they could be just copying off the computer and not really memorizing anything.
