AVID at St. Andrews Middle

Brain break Day #2 from testing - Survival Classroom. End of life as we know it. Groups can take 10 items from current classroom & must rank in order of importance w/ rational. Critical Thinking + Problem Solving= several going to find my car key because I didn’t make it…LOL

After a morning of testing you have to switch gears sometimes and have a brain break! We worked on team building and communication through a friendly competition of putting together 100 piece puzzles. @tberry_teaches @JamettaHodges @RSD1_AVID

The @SAMSSaintsSoar AVID Site team started some great work today evaluating what AVID Schoolwide looks like at SAMS and what we want it to look like next year, @RSD1_AVID @JamettaHodges @tberry_teaches

Excellence in AVID- Ms. Rowe’s students made mandalas to express the theme from the Giver. @SAMSSaintsSoar @RSD1_AVID @JamettaHodges

@SAMSSaintsSoar @RSD1_AVID Ss served as Ambassadors this morning 4 our Annual Move 2 the Middle. Several also played in the orchestra 4 our incoming 6th grade students. They did a great job representing not only St. Andrews but also @AVID4College @JamettaHodges @tberry_teaches

@CoachGoodman @SCSTATE1896 @SAMSSaintsSoar @RSD1_AVID Our rep made personal connections for the kids on campus since he was a recent grad. We also got to see his championship rings!

@AVID_SAMSSaints @SCSTATE1896 @SAMSSaintsSoar @RSD1_AVID Beautiful day for college exposure! 🌞 Campus visits build aspiration, knowledge, and future goals for AVID scholars. What stood out most today? 🎓📚 #AVID

Turned out to be a beautiful day @SCSTATE1896 for our tour with my @SAMSSaintsSoar @RSD1_AVID 7th graders. A little crisp but sunny and we are learning a ton from our guide.

@SAMSSaintsSoar @RSD1_AVID 6th and 8th Grade Ss had the opportunity to explore Winthrop today during our field study. We had a “AVID”tastic time. @JamettaHodges @tberry_teaches

More review of strategies from when their teacher (me) was on medial leave- this time it was Say-Mean-Matters. It is a great skill that can be applied in all classes. We used inspirational quotes to practice. @RSD1_AVID @JamettaHodges @tberry_teaches hes

While I was on medical leave, Ss learns about Reading For the GIST. Today we reviewed what they learned looking at an infographic on NCAA athletes and how may go pro. @RSD1_AVID @tberry_teaches @JamettaHodges

A big AVID “woosh” goes out to @SAMSSaintsSoar 7th Grade Science teacher Mrs. Chartah for winning our January’s AVID Excellence for her incorporation of Helping Trips. @JamettaHodges @RSD1_AVID

Got a package hand delivered today from my substitute from my @SAMSSaintsSoar @RSD1_AVID kids. Talk about a way to make my day. @JamettaHodges @AVID_SAMSSaints

For all my @AVID kiddos! Made by my son…
