Dear Adams' Fam!!
😍 I said it on announcements, but I want to say it again - thank you so much to our lab school participants, it was a tough week and those two hours made my week turnaround and reminded me of how special our Adams family is and how talented our staff is! AVID Lab School is an 8 week weekly class that we hold to teach the ins and outs of being an AVID Showcase school. Because of all of the new learning at the beginning of the school year we held off on starting till half-way through the school year but normally it's at the beginning of the school year 📆 . This year we are training veteran teachers to take over teaching the course and it's been so fun to have experienced teachers participate in this! Anyone whether certified or classified can participate as it is through GROW - so something to think about for next school year! PLEASE ask any of the participants to share about what their learning if you need an AVID recharge! ⚡💡
Adams team - We got this!
Thank you,
Thank you,
Stephanie 🐯🧡

Grief groups and Friendship groups started this week and have been going well so far. Thank you for your support with your students' social emotional learning!
Tardy groups will be starting next week. You should have received an email regarding which student and what time these groups are if you have students selected to attend.

On Monday! Arlinda Mann will be on campus from 8:30-10:00. The agenda that she is sitting down with me about is pretty full so I don't think we'll have time to visit classrooms.

Our January AVID Strategy of the month is Socratic Methods
To the right here ➡I have included a link to a google folder that I made that has some helpful resources about Socratic Methods. If you google Socratic Seminar or Philosophical Chairs you'll also find many great resources. One of the best resources is also to log onto MyAVID.org - each of you has an account, if you need help with accessing that Renee Geyer can help you. Once in My AVID go to Core Strategies you'll find different strategies and the resources in the "Learn More" buttons.
