My Project

I work with a really awesome group of students dedicated to learning how to prepare for college. All students in my program apply for, interview, and agree to put forth exceptional effort toward academics and behavior.

In AVID Class, we focus a lot on college readiness by exploring colleges, college majors and learning what to do in high school to earn scholarships.

As part of their opportunity knowledge standard, the students will research a college they think they might want to attend. They will use the shrinky dink kits and plastic to make a key chain that represents the college they researched. The clear nail polish will seal in the color and the toaster oven will be used to shrink them.
