Student work will be posted daily starting March 23rd.
I've allowed about two weeks to complete each day's work. However, if you are at work, you might allow your child to work on the games and STMATH first. Your child will still be able to complete assignments after the posted due date. I am atteWe are all still learning how to work this way.
If you notice that a link is not working, please send me a quick email....and don't panic...we will get through this. Be gentle with your child and yourself.

Good morning families. I hope you are all safe and healthy. We are receiving news about to proceed, as you are, on the local new channels. Teachers are to report to school tomorrow for a few days in order to prepare for students learning. This is new to all of us at PS 119.
I have attempted to make it possible for you to access the student book online (pearsonrealize.com). It is Volume 2 of our Math book which Ms. Ramsey and I gave to students who were in school on Friday. When I report to school I will look into how to provide you with the necessary passwords to access it and the assignments I've posted.
I will also be posting information about Fundations, our phonics based program. We are currently working on Unit 8, however, Dr. Rivers would like me to back track to the start of the program's unit tests. We did not have the program at the start of the year so we will be administering the previous assessments to ensure there are no gaps in the foundations needed to go forward. For example, Unit 1 asks the students to identify the sounds and letter names. This is a kindergarten skill, so most will have it mastered. As we complete Unit 8, those who mastered those skills will receive more challenging work, while those who need more practice will receive that during center/leveled work time.
I will also resend the class password for Scholastic News for some science and social studies reading and let you know our instructional focus for each one. The class really enjoys EVERY issue!
I am not certain if work will be posted here or if we will be set up to use google docs. As we know, we will let you know as well. I will try to get as much done as soon as possible. Thanks for your understanding and help in getting this done.
In the meantime, be healthy and read together.
Mrs. Santella and Ms. Ramsey
