Thursday, January 8th

Thursday, January 8th

Class Hours: 10:05 – 2:40
Mr. Cronin

Notes

  • Visitors today! Students working with visitors today from 11:05 ish to 11:30
    • Bourdeau
    • McGrath
    • Bubba
  • As always I will start with the visitors in the back, give an overview, and then will bring the students to you. Feature your game – let them play it, get some feedback. The visitors are actually a great practice presentation for you for next Monday/Tuesday.
  • No Adobe AM due to visitors + our RHF Presentation. Focus on your game.
  • Remember all 1st semester missing work must be in by EOD on Friday the 16th!
  • Remember that you end up in English after lunch!
  • This morning before break I need to check in with my EHS students to talk about their exam schedule. In GAWD we do not have exams, many schools have been moving away from them educationally for some time.

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

2:20 “19 Minutes”

Every day in GAWD will end with “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 the end I will 3 students and ask for a 1 sentence explanation of what happened.
