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.

WHAT IS ILLUSTRATOR?
What you NEED to know!!!!
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Adobe Illustrator
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics editor and design program developed and marketed by Adobe Inc. Originally designed for the Apple Macintosh, development of Adobe Illustrator began in 1985.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice different tools and techniques and gradually show your success!
ILLUSTRATOR TOOL BAR
When you open a document in Illustrator, the default toolbar appears at the left of the screen. It includes a set of tools that you frequently need while working in Illustrator.
Adobe Illustrator
Tools in Illustrator are divided into six categories. We will be learning about EACH tool category!
Draw Tools
Draw tools help you to draw and edit objects and paths, and create perspective. You can also add symbols and graphs to your artwork.
Select Tools
Before you work on your artwork, you need to select some or all of its elements. Select tools let you not just select, but move, rotate, scale, and transform your artwork, with varying degrees of precision.
Navigate Tools
Navigate tools let you set your focus on an area of the artwork. You can perform basic actions like zoom in or out, rotate the view, drag artwork, or add grids to work on the canvas.
Text Tools
Text tools help you to add and edit text (type) in your artwork. Apart from plain text, you can also add text on a path or in an area, and apply the desired text effects.
Paint Tools
Illustrator offers a fine collection of vector brushes with which you can apply fills and strokes to elements in your artwork. You can also add blends and build complex shapes to get the desired visual effect.
Modify Tools
Use advanced Modify tools in Illustrator to manipulate objects and paths.
Draw tools...
These I use most often. We are just going to look at the basics!
