Since Holyoke Elementary School staff members can’t see students in person right now due to the coronavirus pandemic, they decided to send them a special message with a photo collage.
The coronavirus pandemic has kept schools from in-person instruction, but it hasn’t kept faculty from showing they still care.
Believe it or not, this is a school assignment. Holyoke teachers are getting creative while providing instruction remotely in response to the coronavirus outbreak. One of first grader Evie Cooper’s recent art assignments was to create a color wheel out of items found at home and send a picture of the finished product to her teacher.
Using her Chromebook to access Google Classroom, Paxton Gatton-Pollock’s current schooling method bears similarities to a traditional school day despite being conducted at home.
Brenna Gatton spends one of her modified school days learning to till the garden. While Holyoke teachers provide instruction in their usual subjects online, Jennifer and Scott Cooper are taking advantage of their kids’ extra time at home to teach them about such things as gardening, cars and baking.
When things were still business as usual at Holyoke School District, Jennifer Cooper had a routine. Four of her kids would board the bus at 7:15 a.m.
Shianne Willmon, a senior at Holyoke High School, has been named a recipient of the Daniels Scholarship.
