My AVID Classroom



My name is Tracey, I am a full time teacher in a middle school.  I have three beautiful girls and a wonderful husband.  On my spare time I love to do DIY projects using popular social media sites.  I have done several for my classroom.   This year I teach a course called AVID, which is a course that prepare students for college.  I got some of my ideas from Pinterest or I used the pins as inspiration to create my ideal classroom.


I love to do collages. I made one for my classroom and the theme was AVID.


My students did a project called Talking Heads. They had to find words and pictures that represented them and place it on construction paper shape like their heads. I took their project and formed the AVID person.

My class used to be an art room and my cabinets in my classroom were terrible. I took contact paper from the Dollar Store and covered them. I also purchased bins and made label from a pin on Pinterest and used construction paper and made poster of resources needed in my AVID classroom.

I have pennants from colleges around my room. The canvas banner with my favorite quote, I got from Vistaprint for free, I just paid for shipping.

This is a set up of my classroom. I have white boards for my tables to conduct tutorials. I placed logos of different colleges above each table.
