Are you all keeping well?

Seems like half the 12th grade AVID class is sick right now! I hope you are all feeling better, keeping well, and so on. Remember, washing your hands is good!

Here is the plan for the week:

Monday: Goals Essay

Tuesday: Tutorial

Wednesday: Entry Essay/Scholarship Essay Powerpoint

Thursday: Tutorial

Friday: Binder Check, Elks Scholarship (in class)

Reading material until then, quotes a member of our class! Fred Meyer gives BHS money .

See you second period.

It is looking like Fall around here...

... and that means college applications. We will really start focusing on college applications in October, but for now, we are getting ourselves ready by prioritizing deadlines for the applications. In the meantime, we are updating our mad AVID skills (notes, binders, tutorials) and really focusing on a good start to the year by setting goals for ourselves and the class.

Here's where we are going the next few days:

• Tuesdays/Thursdays: tutorial, please bring a question and be ready to go when the bell rings!
• Fridays: binder checks, don't forget to bring it to class

We will be typing up our goals essay and proofing it on Friday, with it due in class on Monday (9/21).

Great first week!

I just wanted to tell all of you that I really enjoyed meeting all of you! You guys rock!

Next week we have a busy and packed schedule: binders, Obama's address to school kids, ACT sign-ups, cornell notes review, buddy study, goals essay... the list goes on and on.

For those of you who asked: you can not sign up for the ACTs at home because Mr. Swanson collected your form! So, if you are trying to do that, we will complete this on Wednesday. Bring all the info you need.

Have a wonderful and safe Labor Day Weekend, see you on Tuesday!

Back to School!!

It is that time again... yes, you know...

What time is it?

KNIGHT TIME!!!

Hope you all have a great first day of school, I'm looking forward to seeing you!
