Today I learned about the "flunking pocket." This is what Jason Lee 8th Grade AVID teacher, Anne Hawkins, calls the front pocket of the binder. When it's time for binder check, if there is anything in that front pocket, you fail the binder check! Wow, she's harsh!
For CLASS the students reserve that pocket for homework that needs to be turned in.
Freshmen and Sophomores were taught how to organize their binders in the same way the Juniors and Seniors were taught (see yesterday's post). Ryan and Jamie were the AmeriCorps tutors who helped me get them organized. They all walked out of class with beautiful, organized binders. First binder checks will be next week!
No CLASS tomorrow as we are having a Staff Retreat.
