Class Hours: 10:05 – 2:40
Mr. Cronin
Notes
- Tuesday!
- We are going to use our Monday files and rendered Helicopter animation for our Adobe Premiere Wednesday. Just hang onto them for now.
- Everyone should be checking gradebooks. Late work can be turned in tomorrow. The lowest grade of the class is very surprising…
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 so we can incorporate it into our workflows.

12:55 Attendance and Article

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

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
