MS ENGLISH did a shared reading of Isaac Asimov’s “The Fun They Had,” set in 2155 when “teachers” are appliances in homes. Two kids find a printed book — a relic of a time when school was social and taught by people. Students discussed the benefits and drawbacks of using technology for learning. We also did exercises to prevent eye strain. (follow your finger) 😂 #reading #middleschool #greatteachers

FRENCH 2 with Madam Carraway. Students (in-person and virtual) are learning party/celebration vocabulary. They listened to someone describe plans for a future party and answered comprehension questions about it. In the first half of class, students listened to the dialogue multiple times and took notes, then compared their notes and their answers to the comprehension questions with a classmate during breakout sessions. They did a really great job! #loudounschoolforadvancedstudies #ashburnvirginia #virtuallearning2020
