  • Remember if doing the Pin Design work, you will have 2 sheets of DH for Monday:
    1. Paper #1 split into quadrants with the 4×10 brainstorms (just words, 4 lists)
    2. Paper #2 split into quadrants with 4 rough sketches of potential designs that represent Vermont and include the words:
      • SkillsUSA (written just as it shows, no space, lower case “kills”)
      • Vermont
      • 2023-2024 (in some way)
  • This is my friend Adam – former student, works doing Web Dev in Boston, on our Advisory Board – solid human. He just spent 3 weeks in Japan with his wife having fun and exploring. Just fun to see, I probably won’t get to Japan… this month. Work hard, and you can have a great life that allows you a great career and money and time to travel. He is also the tallest ever CAWD student at 6 foot 8, sorry working hard won’t make you taller …

2:20 Dailies

2:25 “19 Minutes”

4 of 5 days per week we will end our day in CAWD with the “19 Minutes” of silent reading. Closing down our day with silent reading provides many benefits:

  • Improve Literacy Skills / Reading Stamina
  • Create space for a small reading meditation where we can disconnect from the world and get lost in a story
  • Unplug

At 2:44 each day I will come to 3 students and ask for a 1 sentence explanation of what happened in your story over that day’s reading session. It is neat to hear little pockets of a story, here and there.

2:45 Dismissal
