Notes

Dylan / Aiden / Costume Contest Updates? – BUT WAIT! From the power elites:
- “Hang tight on sharing the idea that we’ll celebrate Halloween with costumes, etc. with students, please. (uhhhh) We have some new guidance and expectations shared with us from our EWSD Central Office leadership. We will be in touch about what to share with students and when. (so……..)
You have a sub in English today – not tomorrow. Be on time, act appropriately.
Friday at the end of the day I have to confirm Quarter 1 grades. Any missing work must be turned in Friday before you leave, or they are zero’s in your Quarter 1 gradebook forever. The cool kids are looking their gradebook frequently. Are you a cool kid?

10:10 Blender

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.
