This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My class loves to play Jeopardy. We play Jeopardy every Friday. I would love to have the pre-programmed cartridges that has grade level material already to play.
I teach a very energetic bunch of boys and girls.
Our school is a neighborhood school that supports and educates its children. My school receives help from the Title 1 and Free Lunch programs. I would love to say that my students have everything that they need to be successful individuals in current society, but that is not true. With recent changes in our school budget, we are not able to purchase materials and resources to enhance instruction.
My Project
I have a Classroom Jeopardy system that we use every Friday. Fridays are our "No Worksheets" day. I plan review games and instruction for my students without using a sheet of paper or pencils. They love coming to school and knowing that they will be playing games all day. But sometimes, I am not able to create new games and having the pre-programmed cartridges would allow us to play and continue to master grade level objectives and skills.
The pre-programmed cartridge cover grades 3,4, and 5. Which would allow me to remediate those students who need to sharpen some skills and enrich those students who are ready for the next level. The History and Science cartridges will help us to focus on two areas of instruction that are key to success on state assessments.
You support of this project will bring an additional resource within our classroom that will enhance our Classroom Jeopardy system.
It will also help me with my planning and development of review activities for my students.
