One of the important lessons in AVID is teaching students the importance of organization. One way to stay organized in the classroom is with a binder. These kindergarten students enjoyed setting up their binders earlier this week.

Students can’t wait to take them home and show their families! This month's book is "The Piñata that the Farm Maiden Hung" by Samantha R. Vamos.
