Thursday, November 7th

Notes

  • Thursday!
  • If you were not here Tuesday, and I haven’t seen you since… Monday, we need to work together in the AM session after Illustrator so we can get your Unreal 5 ready to go.
  • We have an assembly tomorrow which will impact English. Nothing heavy, but you will lose some production time.
  • We are going on a Field Trip next Thursday afternoon to WCAX to see some connected careers to what we do in CAWD/CAWD2. More info to come early next week.
  • Isaiah – M117 today at 12:00 for the rehearsal you missed Monday, for tomorrow’s assembly. Just stay down their after English…

10:05 Attendance and Article

10:10 Adobe AM

Illustrator is a popular vector graphics editor used by designers, artists, and illustrators to create a wide range of digital artworks. Unlike raster graphics (which are made up of pixels), vector graphics in Illustrator are based on mathematical equations, allowing them to be scaled infinitely without losing quality. This makes Illustrator particularly well-suited for creating logos, icons, illustrations, typography, and other designs that need to maintain clarity at any size.

We will spend the first 20 minutes of Thursday’s learning Illustrator

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.

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
