My Students

I have a part in inspiring the future leaders, scientists, and inventors of our country. I try everyday to get my students to think outside the box and to be ready for everything that comes their way. Jeopardy helps keep it fun and interesting. Students have a great time learning.

My students are the best in the world.

We are located in an inner-city Charter school in Philadelphia. We are in an economically challenged area. I have some very intelligent students and I tell them everyday to dream big! They need to realize the world has so much to offer them. I tell them that this neighborhood is not the end of the line for them. They can go anywhere they can dream. Through Jeopardy we have a common ground to inspire and challenge each other. My students tell me how much they enjoy taking our questions home and challenging their family too!

My Project

My students will learn so much more about the world around them using the Jeopardy game. I aim to make learning fun everyday and keep my students engaged. We use Jeopardy questions from the show the night before in class all the time. It keeps the students interested in the world around them. They love coming in when I make a paper version of the game. This will inspire my students now and in the future. Students will also be able to use technology with this game to grow their minds and motivate them to follow their dreams past our little neighborhood.

This project is so important to me because I look at my students everyday and wonder where their future will take them.

There are so many bright students in my class and I try to show them the world. Some of these kids will change the world! Jeopardy is one way we bond and I show them what the world has to offer. We are learning and having fun while challenging ourselves. Many of these kids think their whole life will be in this area. This helps to open them up to the world!
