Notes

  • Anyone have a spare 95 large? We can get it for the class…
  • Mallory and Caleb – I sent you both an email about your college class that starts next Friday.

10:05 Attendance and Article

10:10 Adobe AM

Adobe Premiere is a professional video editing software. It’s widely used by video editors, filmmakers, and content creators for editing, organizing, and refining video footage. Premiere Pro offers a comprehensive set of tools for editing video and audio, adding effects, color correction, and transitions, as well as handling a wide range of file formats.

We will spend the first 20 minutes of Friday’s learning Premiere so we can incorporate it into our workflows.

12:55 Attendance and Article

1:00 A Gentleman in Moscow

A Gentleman in Moscow is a reader’s dream — a wonder-full, nuanced story full of wit, insight, and imagination.

Read along with Mr. Cronin. Improve literacy, word decoding, enjoy a nice story, and unplug from the world.

1:20 Afternoon Break (10 minutes)

  • When the door near the TV is open, you are welcome to come back in.

1:30 Speed Design

2:15 Dailies

2:20 “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 2:39 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.

2:40 Dismissal
