Students in grade one will be grouped into two teams that will not interact with each other indoors during the course of the day. Each team will have 10–11 students and one teacher. We will continue our practice of small group reading instruction by bringing in an additional teacher for each team during reading class. Each team will have its own classroom space that includes a bathroom. Each student will have her own desk that is spaced apart from other students. Students will spend the majority of their day in their designated classrooms; however, teachers will move between the classrooms. Students will have lunch in their classrooms and some specials. Students will also visit specialists’ classrooms over the course of the week. For outdoor recess, all of the grade one students will be allowed to play together because the entire group does not exceed 25 people. After-school care will occur in these same classroom spaces which enables us to keep the students on their teams, separate from other students.

Remote learners will have live access via Zoom to the team meeting, literacy lesson, and math lesson each day. There will also be live access to a minimum of two specials per week. Using a combination of SeeSaw and Google Classroom, teachers will post a plan of at-home assignments for remote students to complete for the week. Additionally, there will be a brief, daily check-in with each student who is learning from home.
