Help Mrs. M.

I teach 7th and 8th grade at Independence Middle School in Louisiana. The school population is made up of over eighty percent poverty level children. In order to acquire the students' interest and create a desire to learn, I need materials that create an enjoyable learning atmosphere. I believe students should enjoy learning and that all learning styles should be included in classroom activities. This is evening the playing field for all learning styles. Each Friday, after taking up homework and usually giving a pop quiz, I have students participate in games, group work or watch a documentary that reinforces what I have been covering in class. Please assist me in having the resources to ensure that these students can have fun in the classroom. I would love a Jeopardy game and some video quizzes to use as review activities. I have found that students like to compete in academics as well as in sports. This learning game will reinforce the knowledge the child has obtained and provide him or her with an oral, tactile, and visual review. Thanks for your consideration.
