MFS Digital Digest – 4/14/20

There have been many creative lessons and activities in all divisions during Virtual MFS. Several teachers have shared glimpses at these events with the Communications Department. Enjoy these snapshots:

• Kindergarteners created dragon masks as a group art project.
• Middle School students participated in a virtual scavenger hunt that allowed them to test their research skills.
• The Upper School hosted Divisional Community Time through Zoom; students used this time to generate ideas for weekly grade-level competitions in the weeks to come.
• Teachers are using virtual whiteboard tools to guide students through lessons (for example, in this screenshot of Grade 3 Teacher Rachel Mainwaring teaching fractions).
• MS/US Art Teacher Nicole Edmund created digital art galleries of student work that visitors can “walk through,” such as this collection of seventh graders’ Two-Point Perspective projects.
• Teachers have used Q&A tools like Edpuzzle to give students the ability to answer questions during recorded lessons (see an example from French Teacher Séverine Fortune here).
