11:35 Open House Prep
- Look at your station – let’s throw out the garbage and neaten it up
- Microfiber cloth for screens if interested
- Folder called “Open House” copied from Public to both desktop and downloads
- Everything else in your Desktop put in a single folder. You can keep it, just organize it in a folder on the desktop so we don’t need to see a mess. Everyone’s machine will be used tonight for our workshops.
- Make sure you have the normal windows theme – Bubba, no Windows XP colors.
- Make sure desktop selection represents you as interesting and cool, not cringey and looking for attention. Or the default, which is always safe.

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

- Unplug
At the end I will 3 students and ask for a 1 sentence explanation of what happened.
