  1. Mrs.Donofrio,

    My Aunt from Cherry Hill, NJ tried do do the questions. But she could not do any without MY help. She really likes King Author and she had the musical and she remembered the songs when she was a little kid! Got to love King Author!

  4. Wow that sure looks fun! I would love to do this one day in class. I think I’m going to try to convince my teacher, Ms. Smith to let my class and I do this on one of our fun days.

    • Hi Josh,
      Jeopardy sure is fun. It is my students’ favorite way to review for a test. We are going to play again this week because we have just finished reading a book called Freak the Mighty. It has a weird title, but it is a GREAT book! The author is Rodman Philbrick. Check it out!
