"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever" -Mahatma Gandhi
Welcome to the AVID family! The goal of this class is to work together to improve our own abilities as students to reach our full potential. AVID, Advancement Via Individual Determination, is a college-readiness system that is designed to increase schoolwide learning and performance. AVID exercises & techniques will assist students in gaining confidence in the critical learning areas of writing, inquiry (questioning), collaboration (teamwork), organization, and reading.
Along with regular classroom activities, AVID students will also enjoy learning from guest speakers & field trip experiences. To better tie in with high school life, we will continually address issues relevant to attending Glencoe High School. The goal of AVID is to help students feel more confident and prepared to successfully achieve in high school and beyond!

8th Grade Language Arts
"Creativity is contagious. Pass it on" -Albert Einstein
Welcome to 8th grade language arts! The goal of this class is to develop our skills as a student and prepare ourselves for moving on to the more rigorous world of high school language arts . We will do this by reading, writing, and speaking in a number of different styles and mediums. I want my students to evolve over the course of this semester so that they are best prepared for what awaits them in high school. I am looking forward to going through this process with all of you.
