My Project

My students are creative, collaborative, and full of energy! As middle school AVID scholars, they are constantly engaging in group activities, note-taking, goal-setting, and inquiry-based learning. To help them stay focused and ready to learn, we are creating supply bins for each student table that are full of the essential tools they need every day.

Table bins will hold shared supplies, such as the requested pencils, pens, highlighters, sticky notes, scissors, glue sticks, and more — all within arm’s reach.

With these resources available at their fingertips, students won’t waste valuable class time searching for materials. Instead, they can dive into collaborative work, stay organized, and take more responsibility for their learning space.

With your support, these bins will become daily tools that empower students to take ownership of their learning and stay prepared, organized, and motivated!
