Hello everyone! I hope you and your families are doing well during this unfortunate time. My name is Brianna, I am a senior (T19) in TIME 2000 and I thought it would be amazing to make one of those trending videos of students/teachers making "thank you videos". Pleas forward this email to your classmates if they have not received it, thank you! I know that Mrs. Markinson, Dr. Artzt, and Mrs. Weinman would be so appreciative of this as it would definitely make them smile. With that being said, I would like for you all to *send me a picture or short clip* of you holding up a sign of some sort with a special message to our wonderful educators listed above. These messages could be personal to your relationship with that person, or just a simple thank you and a smile! Of course this is something you do not have to participate in. Everyone is busy during this time so if there is any reason why you cannot participate we totally understand. Again, I hope you are all staying safe and doing well. If you have any questions please contact me. Please send the picture to either my email, briannapatrizi(a)gmail.com or my cell, (516) 851-2358. Thank you! All the Best, Brianna Patrizi

Dear Future Math Methods Students, I continue to hope that you are all well. Thank you for submitting the placement request forms. If I did not receive your form, I have emailed you; if you did not receive such an email, rest assured that your requests have been received. There are two additional schools that may be available. If you would like to add the schools to your request list, please reply to this email with * Your name and email address * The name of the school and what choice number (#1-5) it should be on your list. The two schools are * BTECH (Business Technology Early Career HS, 230-17 Hillside Avenue, Queens Village, NY 11427) * World Journalism Preparatory School, 34-65 192nd St, Flushing, NY 11358. This school has grades 6-12 so can be requested for BOTH MS AND HS placements. Sincerely, Mrs. Weinman From: Naomi Weinman Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2020 1:59 PM Subject: Student Teaching Placement Info Dear Future Math Methods Students, I hope you and your families are well and able to stay safe. Given the many disruptions caused by the coronavirus, you may be wondering about your student teaching placements for next year. Instructions follow below but are a little different this year. In the past, schools were surveyed first, committed to student teacher placements, and then included on the list of choices for you. This year, you are being surveyed before the schools are asked to take student teachers because the schools are overwhelmed with changes right now and because they do not yet know what next school year will bring. After I receive your placement requests, I will reach out to the schools. The list of schools is based on the schools that agreed to host student teachers for the current semester. This coming fall semester, you will complete your observations for the methods course at the schools where you will student teach during the spring semester. I will arrange your placements based on your answers to the questionnaire found at Student Teaching Placement Form for Spr2021<https://forms.gle/9me5GiEYi4mudWzH7>. Please complete the questionnaire by April 28, 2020, to avoid delay in your placement. Replies submitted after that date will be processed in the order they are received. NOTE: Observations for the Methods course are separate from and, most likely, at a different school than the observations you will do for ICE. You will receive your placement information after the start of the fall semester. I will be in contact between now and then if more information is needed from you or if other schools become available; please be sure to check your email and reply in a timely manner. Please let me know if you have any questions. Information about the schools listed on the form can best be found on the schools' websites. I look forward to receiving your completed forms on time.

Dear TIME 2000 Students, Thank you to those of you who replied to the online course survey. Attached please find an excel file with the recommendations that were collected. I hope this is helpful to you as you register for online courses.

Several of you have asked about summer courses. Once QC announced that the summer classes will be taught remotely, some students told me that they do not want to take summer classes. Today, one of the seniors suggested that you consider taking summer courses so that you do not fall behind on the required courses and to avoid having to take 6 classes one (or even two) semesters, something that is never recommended. With this in mind, I thought it would be a good idea for you to share your experiences taking online courses at QC. I will then share the recommendations, both positive and negative, for you to have as more classes might transition to online only options in the future. The recent alumni are included for their recommendations, as well. Please complete the online course survey as soon as possible and by the end of this week.

Dear All, Dr. Artzt and I really appreciate receiving your journals and meeting with you for chat times. If you or your loved ones were ill, we hope recovery is in sight. We hope those of you who are well, stay well and practice safe social distancing. The post below was shared with me because it is written by a teacher. May you find it as inspiring as I do! Stay safe! Mrs. Weinman Naomi Weinman TIME2000/SEYS Queens College, CUNY | 65-30 Kissena Blvd | Queens, NY |11367 (w) 718-997-5377 | (f) 718-997-5173 time2000.qc.cuny.edu<https://www.qc.cuny.edu/Academics/Honors/Time2000/Pages/default.aspx> | Donate to TIME 2000<http://bit.ly/time2000> "This is a tough time for students. Stay strong and in a world with a lot of what ifs let's think about these ones a bit... With the rest of the school year going to online learning and in some places, canceled altogether-students will miss 2 to 2.5 months of traditional classroom time. Many people are concerned about students falling behind because of this. Yes, they may fall behind when it comes to classroom education... But what if... What if instead of falling "behind", this group of kids are ADVANCED because of this? Hear me out. What if they have more empathy, they enjoy family connection, they can be more creative and entertain themselves, they love to read, they love to express themselves in writing. What if they enjoy the simple things, like their own backyard and sitting near a window in the quiet. What if they notice the birds and the dates the different flowers emerge, and the calming renewal of a gentle rain shower? What if this generation are the ones to learn to cook, organize their space, do their laundry, and keep a well run home? What if they learn to stretch a dollar and to live with less? What if they learn to plan shopping trips and meals at home. What if they learn the value of eating together as a family and finding the good to share in the small delights of the everyday? What if they are the ones to place great value on our teachers and educational professionals, librarians, public servants and the previously invisible essential support workers like truck drivers, grocers, cashiers, custodians, logistics, and health care workers and their supporting staff, just to name a few of the millions taking care of us right now while we are sheltered in place? What if among these children, a great leader emerges who had the benefit of a slower pace and a simpler life to truly learn what really matters in this life? What if they are AHEAD?

Dear TIME 2000 Juniors, I hope you and your family members are well and staying healthy. Dr. Artzt and I cannot wait until we can all return to campus. Placements for student teaching will be delayed until we know how and when schools will resume. I will be in touch with a Google Form survey as soon as possible. It is important that we keep in touch and write journals to remember what our thoughts and feelings were at this historic time. This journal assignment is for you, the juniors, who are in a very different situation than the other undergraduates. Please email both Dr. Artzt and me your honest reflections. Although we are going to have junior group meetings on Tuesday, April 14, there are personal things you may not want to share in a group. Remember to join the TIME 2000 Classroom page as per the previous email. On Tuesday, Click on this revised link to the meeting at your meeting time: https://meet.google.com/lookup/bphkqr5glu You will be able to see everyone and have the option to speak or to text via the chat box or just hang out and listen. Journal Assignment: The Spring 2020 semester is unlike any we have experienced before! We are interested in getting your feedback on several issues and, more importantly, knowing how you are doing. Please respond to the following in as detailed and honest a manner as possible. 1. What is your name? How are you and your family? How is life at home? Are you or your relatives essential workers who are still reporting to work outside of the home? Let us know how you feel. 2. How are you coping with the covid crisis? How are you handling the changes in your life caused by the coronavirus pandemic? What challenges are you facing? What are your successes? 3. Describe your experiences this semester thus far. Include a BRIEF description of the courses you are taking and your feelings about those courses (both TIME 2000 and non-TIME 2000 courses). How are you handling the transition to remote learning? 4. Describe any other thoughts and feelings you would like to share about the TIME 2000 program that you did not mention above. What things would you like us to be sure to do in future semesters? Please let us know any questions you may have. 5. Describe any other thoughts and feelings you would like to share about yourself that you did not mention above. What is going on in your life right now that you'd like us to know about?
