Working from home can prove difficult, but kindergarten students in Jennifer Magliano’s C.A. Reinhard virtual class have been getting in tune with their hybrid model of education due to the COVID-19 pandemic by developing creative and individualized workstations for virtual learning during the 2020-2021 school year.
Ms. Magliano said, “The students were really motivated by the project and excited about having a designated virtual workspace to call their own.”
The virtual workspace assignment tied into the District’s Bellmore Stars Character Development Program centered on universal leadership principles and shared core values. By setting up a designated space, the students utilized the leadership principle “Begin with the End in Mind,” in which they planned ahead and set personal goals. “Being Proactive,” the students also demonstrated responsibility for their actions and positive attitudes towards their education by creating a functional workspace.
