Lessons have been assigned to them based on their diagnostic test results both in Math and Reading. Within each lesson are brain break games. The district is pushing a goal of 45 minutes per week on Online Lessons in ELA and 45 minutes per week in Math to close the gaps found in the diagnostic. Math and ELA are providing some of that time during the week, but not all.

Docked Panels
On the right are docked panels like Properties, Layers and Libraries.
Panels can move!
As we explore Illustrator...
You'll find that you can move parts of this workspace to have things you use all the time easily accessible or maybe to show more of the artwork you're working on and fewer tools and panels
Tools...
On the left, hover over individual tools and Illustrator tells you what the tool is and what it does!
If you click the LEARN MORE button, a DISCOVER popup box appears to explain the tool a bit more thoroughly! (including step by step instructions!)
Click on the ellipse tool...
Tools you can use to create and edit...
Some of the tools have a little arrow in the corner which means there are more tools you can choose from.
For instance pressing hold on the rectangle tool here to show MORE tools you can choose from!
Click the ellipse tool (looks like an oval) and notice that the menu of extra tools is now hidden and the ellipse tool is selected!
Selection Tool...
At the top of the tools panel, is the SELECTION TOOL
This is used ALOT to do things like select items or move content.
Go ahead and select the Selection Tool (it looks like a BLACK ARROW)
With the Selection Tool active...
Come out to the document and click in this rectangle to select it
The item will have a thin blue selection line around it.
Making a change...
Now suppose you want to change the color of this rectangle if you look in the properties panel to the right of the document you'll see options available for the content you select like its position and size appearance properties like the fill color here.
Click the fill color (in the properties panel) and select another color to fill it with you can then press escape or click on the gray open area to hide the color panel.
