Class Hours: 10:05 – 2:40
Mr. Cronin

Notes

  • Happy Weekend!
  • Remember it is Mother’s Day on Sunday – I bet even if you are broke a nice homemade card or drawing or something would be appreciated. Borrow some art supplies from CAWD. Make it your agency for the week!
  • Dailies moved up 5 minutes as I have to leave at 2:15 today before reading due to sick kid. Mr. Bohmann will close you out with reading.
  • No Speed Design this afternoon, I have to prep to leave early.
  • Updated times for Study guide. 3 and 6 minute lead times. Have to make it harder for the winning team.

12:55 Attendance and Article

1:00 Steve Jobs

Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years–as well as interviews with more than 100 family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues–Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur

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

Week 31 Agency

2:10 Dailies

2:15 “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
