Dear Parents,
I did research over the weekend and hopefully came up with a plan that may work better for you as well as for me. I will still keep to the schedule in posting each subject's assignment and be available for assistance. However, instead of having students post their answers as before, I prepared ONE Classwork google form on which students can list all their responses for Religion, ELA (Voyages, Phonics, etc) and Social Studies/Science. Math is the only subject which will still require sending two photos as before.
So as I post assignments students may do their work in a notebook and then transfer all of their responses to their individually named google form (or keep it open if possible). In this way all the day's work will be neatly and safely kept in one place for me to access each day. This will also help parents who must turn in a student' s work late out of necessity.
I also plan to do quizzes this week in a similar way. I will be assigning only one quiz each day starting Tuesday. Each quiz has eight multiple choice questions and one written response and all are based on work that we have covered. Also, I will let you know on the previous day what students should study in order to be prepared for each quiz. Each quiz has a due date so it can only be seen on the day it is assigned. Parents should make sure that each student DOES NOT have access to any books or notes and DOES NOT get help in answering questions. Parents are only allowed to read questions to their children when and if it is necessary as I have done in class. I will always let you know in cases when reading to a student is not allowed.
I will be assigning only the most important lessons in Math this week (skipping some lessons that repeat the same skill) so that I can complete Module 4 before the Easter break. I am completing Unit work in the other subjects as well, but without a need to skip any lesson.
I hope this will help relieve some of the stress we are all suffering and we can look forward to our Easter break next week.
***Please make sure you send me the two photos for the Math daily to my e-mail. As I checked under your name, I noticed a few were missing even though you were with me in class this morning. Send the photos as soon as you complete the pages, if possible, so you don't forget.
Below I am listing the assignments for March 30 and 31 for anyone who needs it. If you are on google classroom , there is no need to read this message.

Revised Schedule for First Grade
This is a new revised schedule we can begin tomorrow which still fulfills all time requirements:
8:30 to 8:45 Attendance and Daily Messages or Updates
8:45 to 9:30 Religion
9:30 to 11:00 Math
11:00 to 12:15 ELA
12:15 to 1:00 LUNCH
1:00 to 1:45 Science or Social Studies
1:45 to 2:30 Teacher Prep Time (Students do 20 minute session on Success Maker
*** Mr. Woods stated yesterday that he wants students to continue working on Success Maker for 20 minute periods each time. This is the minimum amount of time that is required for each session or the program won't work correctly. The schedule for Success Maker is ELA sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Math sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays.
****If parents CANNOT be with their children during class time due to emergency situations, you may send the work for the day whenever you can during the day as long as it is before midnight. I had called several parents and informed them of this. However if your child is present during the class period, I am asking that the work be completed during the class period time so the student can move from one assignment to the next and I can address any concerns about what you are doing on that assignment. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING STUDENTS' WORK
Dearest Parents,
I appreciate your efforts and cooperation in sending your children's work to me. I spent several hours reviewing the extensive entries in my email. In order to make things more manageable for you and for me, I need to make a few important requests.
*Please send any photos to this e-mail ONLY: mssaville@olqmnyc.org ---not the one I use as a faculty member. Limit your messages to what is most important.
*Do not send any more photos of past work. Starting tomorrow I will be checking only the present day's assignments.
*When you log on to www.classroom.google.com tomorrow at 8:30 be sure you are using the school code: 42qiscw. Do only the assignments I have scheduled and please make sure each subject 's assignment is completed and sent within the time given in the schedule. Only the Math homework should be sent after 1:45. I will assign less so all can complete on time. This is important to keep things manageable and grades can be entered on time.
*DO NOT send work or information I must download. I can't risk running out of storage space.
*Please put the subject and page number of anything you send-- not just done.
*Finally, I must change how I check the Reader's and Writer's Journal pages because when I try to check the work, Pearson web dash starts to download the whole book! So--I will be choosing a few questions from each Lesson in the journal and posting them under Classwork for you to answer and post on google classroom. We will do only one lesson each day but it must be completed within the period as is required in class.
* I phoned several parents today who did not log into classroomgoogle yet to find out what was wrong and hopefully now you have all the information you need including your username and password for www.discoveryeducation.com. If you don't, please let me know at 8:30 tomorrow before I start the day's lesson. Please everyone don't be late!
I must make these requests in order to make this work for all of us in these hard times!

LATEST UPDATE!!!!
Dear Parents,
It has been decided that we are no longer allowed in the school building. So....I will no longer be able to come in to collect workbook pages as I did today. I have worked very hard setting up other options for you. After consulting with various people, it has been agreed that the best solution under the circumstances is that you take a photo of the workbook pages I assign each day and send them to me on google classroom. This is most important with the Math. Reading components can be done using www.pearsonrealize and Science and Social Studies can be done using www.discoveryeducation.com It is NECESSARY that you log on to google classroom every day at 8:30 so that I take attendance. THIS IS MANDATORY! I will be available every day from 8:30 to 1:45 on googleclassroom to communicate with you and your children. I am having zoom meetings with the faculty before and after this time every day and am expected to correct work and enter grades after 1:45 so I CANNOT be available then.
I will continue to put weekly assignments on the blog as well as a schedule of subjects we will covering each day so you can be ready with the correct workbooks when we start tomorrow. Please work with me doing assignments on a DAY TO DAY basis so I can correct and enter grades on time. I I will begin with only one or two pages a day in each subject. The only daily homework will be in Math. Please be ready to take a photo of any workbook assignment I give and send it to my e-mail: mssaville@olqmnyc.org so I can check it and then enter your grade on googleclassroom. It was decided grades will be 3 or 2 for assignments and 70, 80, or 90 for tests.
I will be using exclusively the blog, googleclassroom, www.pearsonrealize, and www. discoveryeducation. I will put the username and password for www.discoveryeducation.com for each student on google classroom since each student has a different number. You will be able to watch videos on this site and then I will post questions based on the video on google classroom.
Our daily schedule will be as follows:
8:30 Religion
9:15 Math
10:45 ELA
12:15 Social Studies or Science
1:45 MUSIC
Please have your children ready with students' workbooks at 8:30 tomorrow and your phone to take pictures if possible so I can make sure all can work with me on this.
We have two weeks before our Easter break! Let's do our best!

ANOTHER UPDATE
Dear Parents,
Since the office is going to be closed on Sunday and traveling is being restricted, I will be going in on Monday and during the week (if allowed) to pick up any assignments I have given last week that your children have completed in any of their workbooks. Just tear the pages and place them in a folder with your child's name and grade. Please remember that Math workbooks for Modules 5-6 are available in the office. All Reading assignments however can and will be done using the Pearson website. This includes the trade book for the lesson, the Readers' Writers' Journal pages, leveled readers for practice, and the Decodable books for the Vanilla group. If you log in to www.pearsonrealize.com and enter your information, you will see that these have been assigned already. The leveled readers are: I Have a Dollar, At the Market, A Healthful Meal, Which Way Is Better, and Trading This for That. For next week, I will continue to list work that can be done in the workbooks you took home.
I am also sending you our class code for google classroom. You will need to go to www.classroom.google.com and enter the username and password your child received on the sheet on the last day of school. Click on the + sign in the top upper right, enter the class code: szfcien and click on join. Once you do that your child's name will appear on my first grade class list and I will be able to send assignments that I can then see on-line. To see how this works you can watch the you tube video on google classroom explanation. I will be checking to see if names are showing up. If you have lost the sheet, I have a copy for each student. On Monday I can offer further directions if necessary. I will also give you further information on www.discoveryeducation.com as it can be used as another on-line resource and each student has a username and password for this as well.
Please check the blog on Monday afternoon for any other updates or new decisions to be made at school regarding your child's instruction. Thank you for your patience and consideration in these difficult times. God bless you. Ms. Saville

IMPORTANT NOTICES FOR PARENTS REGARDING NEXT WEEK
Dearest Parents,
I have not posted anything as of last week because I was waiting for decisions to be made at school regarding assessing students' work. I want to thank all parents who were able to have their children complete their on-line work in the Readers' Writers' Journal using the Pearson website. It is important that your children remember to click on save for each page and also click on turn in when done with each lesson. There were nine students who did not begin the assignment and some who did not complete it yet. Please try to complete them by this Sunday.
For now it has been decided that all lower grades including first grade will be receiving a packet of worksheets to be done by students during the week. Starting this Monday, March 23 parents may pick up their packet in the school office. It is NECESSARY that all students complete the work within the week so that grades can be recorded on Educate on time. I will be coming in to school on Sundays (if it is possible due to the circumstances) to pick up the completed work packet, grade them, and record grades. I will also leave the new assignments for the following week so parents can pick up the new packet starting again on Monday. This will be the procedure until Easter vacation which begins on April 6.
I am also requesting that parents tear out the pages from the Math workbooks (pp. 49 to 53 and 57 to 60) assigned last week so I can correct and grade them. Please do the same with Voyages pp. 112 to 115. Please staple, place them in a folder with your child's name and grade and leave them in the office.
Love to all my students and their parents. Please stay well! Ms. Saville

Homework for March 9 to 13
Dear Parents,
Please note that I corrected the page numbers for Thursday's Grammar homework in the Voyages workbook. I also added a link so students can watch a video on the Stations of the Cross. On Monday all students need to bring in their test folder with Progress Report and all tests signed so they can be filed. Progress Reports will be returned the same day. On Tuesday, I will be attending a workshop but there will still be class. On Friday there is no school once again.
