AVID Quarter 2 info...
During 2nd quarter, AVID 7th graders continued to practice and review their Tutorial Skills. Students are learning the importance of not only bringing a good question to present to tutorials, but also being a great resource by asking questions to other presenters during tutorials. The tutorial process enhances their public speaking skills, without their realization they are actually presenting a speech to a small group!
7th graders also took their first college field trip in November. Students were able to tour the campus of Maple Woods Community College on November 18th, 2022. They saw a variety of classrooms, the library, computer labs, cafeteria and so much more. Students were also able to learn more about the cost of going to a Community College and using their A+ Scholarship (if they earn) versus the cost of a 4 year college.
8th grade AVID students worked a lot on their writing skills. Students started with writing a short essay on a topic they are passionate about. We have some very passionate students and future writers. They then took those writing skills and learned how to write an email to a college of their liking about a topic(s) they are interested in learning more about at that particular college. Students were able to send an email to the college and a lot of students have received emails and even college swag back from the colleges they wrote. Students are super pumped when they receive communication back from their inquiries.
Both grade levels are looking forward to learning and planning out their future school careers. Students will learn about classes that will be offered either at Northgate or North Kansas City High School. Students will build their 6 year plans in 7th grade to help them navigate classes they might be interested in during High School. 8th graders are using their 6 year plans they created in 7th grade to help them determine which high school diploma and pathway might fit them best. This may be the start of 2023, but the end of the 22-23 school year will be here before we know it and our AVID students are prepping for their future each day!
