FUN IN THE CLASSROOM
DESPITE COVID PROTOCOLS, STUDENTS HAD AS NORMAL A SCHOOL YEAR AS POSSIBLE. With individual supplies and distancing, students completed science projects, like dissecting frogs and the egg drop experiment in High School, creating cars out of cardboard and sticks to transport eggs in Middle Division, and building towers with spaghetti noodles to support an egg in Lower Division. Language arts and social studies classes still had debates, with candidates six feet apart.
Students participated in virtual field trips and activities like virtual BizTown, virtual tours of national parks, and streaming in the New Albany Lecture Series.
While students had to remain physically distanced, they had access to dry-erase markers and plastic sleeves that allowed them to show their work across content areas. In math classes, students had their own manipulative pieces so they could still build models to solve math problems. Marburn Magazine 2021 8
