Class Hours: 10:05 – 2:40
Mr. Cronin
Notes
- Today is a Blue day and an English day.
- You have 28 hours to get ANYTHING in for Quarter 1. When you walk out the door Friday I shoot the gradebook with my freeze-ray, and we only worry about Quarter 2 going forward.
- Ira can you please guard the room today for the 10 minutes leading up to break? I have to go and speak with GAWD2 about our Champlain plans for next semester.

10:50 Morning Break (10 minutes)
11:00 10-Minute Note Card
No name required, but it does get hung up! Student chosen random topic. Use all art supplies (or try to, practice is the goal).
11:15 Unreal
- Intro to timelines
- Using a timeline to have a pickup move up and down (sadly there is no positional component like rotating movement)
11:35 A Gentleman in Moscow
Imagine being sentenced to spend your life inside a luxury hotel. In A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles, Count Alexander Rostov faces exactly that. Trapped in Moscow’s Metropol Hotel after the Russian Revolution, he builds unexpected friendships and watches history unfold outside. The novel asks an important question: Can you still build a meaningful life when your freedom is taken away?
A class read-along gives us a chance to slow down, disconnect from screens, and get lost in a great book together. As we read, you’ll naturally build your vocabulary, strengthen your reading skills, and experience a story.

- You are welcome to return to the room when you have finished eating and work / hang out.

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.
2:40 Dismissal
