What Is Cranium Club?

Cranium Club is an educational opportunity available to all students in my classroom.  It is composed of 100 educational challenges that student complete on their own time.  Challenges vary in topic.  There are educational challenges available in History & Geography, Mathematics, The English Language, Science, and a Miscellaneous category.  Cranium Club reviews important concepts from previous years, topics in the 3rd grade curriculum, and (for a real challenge) concepts from upper elementary and Middle School too!
