Colorful Pens for Processing Notes!

Help me give my students different colored pens to help them take better notes.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cuzzort's classroom raised $286

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are AVID students. AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination and it means my students are motivated to make it to college on their own determination. My students want to do well, they want to be successful and they want to know how to take good notes!

We use different colored pens to show how many times we went back to our notes when we are processing them.

Students know that they need to look at their notes at least 7 times in order to retain that information. We are in need of more pens to help us with this process.
