Mr. Cronin

Notes

  • Happy May! Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit!
  • Who wants to eat at a 2D sushi restaurant?

10:05 Attendance and Article

10:30 Survey in your email

  • Let’s all log into our emails to take this quick survey, I have been told it will take 10-15 minutes per students at a maximum.
  • Please make sure you hit submit at the end, so you don’t have to do it.
  • Once complete get to work on your Clicker Game!

10:30 JavaScript Clicker Game

Pure production time for game. I think at this point is is personalization and making it work.

Extra credit opportunity for project – prevent going into debt by buying upgrades in reverse order? How could you do that? Any resources is fine to figure it out – professionals would use the internet, AI, colleagues, etc.

When we present these on Monday we will be copying all the games down to our machines and playing ourselves, each and every one – so be ready!

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.

1:20 Afternoon Break (10 minutes)

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
