Funded Sep 19, 2024Thank you so much for your generous support of our AVID classroom through the "Empower 6th Graders With Essential Paper Supplies for Success" project. The new resources have already been put to great use in some exciting and creative ways!
Recently, our students used the paper supplies for two engaging team-building activities. In one, they were challenged to build a paper table that could hold as many cell phones as possible. It was amazing to see them collaborate, problem-solve, and experiment with different strategies to strengthen their designs. Their teamwork and critical thinking really shined!
Another activity, called "The Marker is Lava," pushed students to work together as a group to maneuver a marker using only strings to draw a picture—another fantastic demonstration of cooperation and focus.
When the students first saw all the new materials, their excitement was contagious! Having these supplies has allowed them to dive into hands-on, interactive lessons that help build their skills in creativity, collaboration, and leadership.
Looking ahead, these resources will continue to support our students as they tackle more projects and challenges. Our next step is to incorporate these materials into upcoming AVID lessons where they will focus on building organizational skills and completing in-depth group assignments.
Thank you again for making this possible—your support truly empowers our students and enriches their learning experience.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Hogan
