For students that can’t get XAMPP / Databases to work!

  • Talk to me directly, and we will have you do the site in WordPress.com.
  • You will be graded as “collected” (or a zero), as there are some elements of the project that you can’t do such as removing design elements (as easily) and plugins.
  • The goal is the content on learning the cost and needs to setup a server, so you can hit those learning objectives with a wordpress.com project, just will miss some of the extensions of learning.

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
