Class Hours: 10:05 – 2:45
Mr. Cronin
Notes
- The WORLD is due tomorrow. There are no extensions for due dates. When you walk out of the room, I have to get grades to all your sending schools and CCV!
- We have 1 day of academic school left after today!
- 37 – “Passion Project” Final – all work due Friday June 7th at EOD (only project – final grade)
- 38 – end of year activities
- Monday – Certification exam (10:30 start) – EHS students that have conflicts make arrangements with that teacher today so you are in the room at 10:30.
- Have to take the exam, part of the program. If you can’t take it Monday, we may invite you back Friday to take it after school is over. This is not what anyone wants, so make sure you are here Monday.
- Tuesday – Movies (CAWD2 wants Garfield if possible). Leaving CAWD at 10:05 sharp. Again, EHS students that have conflicts make arrangements with your teachers today – we are leaving to go on a field trip, we can’t stay, if you can’t come to the movies, you need to have your parent say you are sick for the day or it will be a cut, as we as a program are not going to be here.
- We pay for tickets
- You pay for concessions
- Wednesday – Game Day / Social / Relax
- Not doing food
- Time to get all work off the machines
- Game
- Board games
- Draw
- Socialize face to face
- Karate
- THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR EHS STUDENTS WITH CONFLICTS TO TAKE ANY EXAMS SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY OR TUESDAY.
- Thursday – Recognition Night Rehearsal, Recognition Night – LAST DAY OF CAWD! Everyone get off of work / other stuff so we can end the year with a nice night, get some photos, get some scholarships (I know people in the room that will win $), etc.
- Monday – Certification exam (10:30 start) – EHS students that have conflicts make arrangements with that teacher today so you are in the room at 10:30.
- What has Isaac Decided? Top 8 get longer lunch.
- Today and Friday we will be doing 1v1 debates like Tuesday – I saw a low of smiles and it was good practice.

- Passion Project Final
- Your final CAWD project will be presented any way that you wish. Remember that you are building your brand, and you want to show off as much as you have done. Still frames, animations, OBS recordings, pictures – whatever you need to do to show off your culminating project that really says “Hey, this is what I can do.”
- Missing work!
2:20 Dailies

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
