August 28: Welcome back 10th graders! Congrats after this year you WILL be half way done with high school. Today we looked at the AVID binder and we talked about what the expectations are for the binder this year. I expect you to have a binder ready to go and set up by Friday (see me if you cant have this done). We will have binder check number one on the first friday and there will be a check every friday (or last day of the school week each week).

August 29: We discussed Cornell Notes today and how they should be done in all of your core classes (math, science, english, and social studies). Today I gave questions and gave the notes. Starting Tuesday, you will be formulating your own questions for notes so you can practice for your core classes. We also started talking about goals for the year. Please see me if you were absent so I can get you caught up.
