My Project

Welcome to my classroom. We are an AVID school. Part of AVID is being organized. My scholars have been working hard on being organized all year. With the second part of the school year here, we want to continue our organization. Having these seat sacks, zipper pouches, paper, and headphones will contribute to our organization. Having a clean and organized classroom helps to set the tone for students. As you can imagine scholars can be rather rough with their materials and we are working on respecting our property to make our classroom items last longer as well. We appreciate any donations you can give to our classroom.
