Class Hours: 9:40 – 2:05
Mr. Cronin
Notes
- Dylan / Aiden / Costume Contest Updates? – BUT WAIT! From the power elites:
- You have a sub in English today – not tomorrow. Be on time, act appropriately.
- Friday at the end of the day I have to confirm Quarter 1 grades. Any missing work must be turned in Friday before you leave, or they are zero’s in your Quarter 1 gradebook forever. The cool kids are looking their gradebook frequently. Are you a cool kid?

2:25 “19 Minutes”
![](https://cawdvt.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/19Minutes-1024x576.jpg)
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 2:44 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.
2:45 Dismissal
