\u201cIf you try to do your best, there is no failure.\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

–Mike Farrell<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Saxon math is such a great curriculum. The math students it produces are top-notch, and tend to have a deep knowledge of the subject. But it\u2019s a challenging curriculum<\/strong>, and that\u2019s not lost on any of us who teach it, right?! <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I can picture your student, opening their book each day, sitting down to watch the lessons, and truly feel for the task ahead of them. I know it well because I\u2019ve seen it for years in kids I\u2019ve taught–and I watch my own work hard on it every day. It\u2019s why I try to make math as fun as possible.<\/strong> Folks tell me my videos work<\/a>, but you and I both know that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s easy!<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why I just love the All-Right and the 30-5 Clubs<\/a>. It\u2019s why I will always, always, always tell you that \u201cYES! Your child should absolutely attempt to get into them!\u201d Even though Saxon math is an everyday part of their routine, it deserves a reward.<\/strong> Heck, it may deserve a reward BECAUSE they do it every day.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"Saxon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These were the first two clubs I ever dreamed up, and they\u2019ve been a foundational part of the subscriber experience since Day One. Because it\u2019s easy to phone it in on challenging things, or boring things, or daily things.<\/strong> But if you give your best on these things, the consistency pays off<\/a>, especially in a program like Saxon Math<\/a>.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These two clubs target two important areas, and work to motivate a wide range of kids. One encourages kids to strive for consistency in practice, the other for mastery of material. Between those two things,<\/strong> ANYONE can reach their goal and celebrate their success.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The All-Right Club<\/a> is for students who get 100% (all problems correct on the first try) on either a practice set or a test. This one motivates kids who are already grasping concepts to go all in for perfection, even just once<\/strong>! They can hit the All-Right Club<\/a> mark in a math test OR lesson. It\u2019s a tough, but achievable goal, and it may be just the thing if they tend to know the concepts but let a mistake or two get in the way of math excellence.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 30-5 Club<\/a> is for students who complete every problem of five mixed practice sets in a row. This one targets kids who may struggle a bit to get all the practice sets completed. If they only do half a set, or if they run out of time before they complete all 30, this challenge can show them that they CAN get through entire sets of Saxon math!<\/strong> It\u2019s great for kids who need to make the leap and do more practice, but who are intimidated by doing 30 problems a day.  (And no, they do not need to score 100% on the practice set. They just need to have no skipped problems!) <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s in it for them? Well of course students who accomplish either of these goals will be featured on Nicole\u2019s weekly Wall of Fame Video!  A few seconds of internet fame can go a long way in motivating them! But they\u2019ll also get a new sense of accomplishment, and show themselves what can happen when they apply themselves to a challenge.<\/strong> That\u2019s the true blessing of pushing themselves for a club goal, and it\u2019s why I continue to use Club Month to encourage them to step up!<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This club month, <\/span> won\u2019t you encourage your child to go for the club that would motivate them to improve<\/a>?  It\u2019s a great way to prove to themselves that doing their absolute best really is possible, and that hard things are worth doing.<\/strong> Ready? See you in the club!<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Talk to you soon,<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
