I gave lots of options based on what materials they had at home.Projects ranged from collage, food art, photography, drawing, and painting, Delaune says.It was rewarding to see what creative projects the girls came up with each week. Some found that the virtual school also inspired activities that may not have occurred withon-campuslearning.IpairedthematerialwithGoogleclassroom,madevid-eos, and incorporated reading Scripture and articles, but I think the best assignment I gave was simply to watch the live-streamed Mass with Fr. Mike Schmitz and have stu-dents respond to related reflection questions, says theology teacher Nageeha Zaghloul Yazbeck (93).Another common challenge for faculty, staff, and students was adapting their home environments for education.Many found themselves working at the SSA virtual school each day while also managing the learning of their own school-age children at home, caring for relatives, sharing work spaces with multiple family members, or juggling other household responsibilities.For me a huge challenge was easily being distracted by my family and surroundings. It was a hard balance to know when to work and when to relax. It was very challenging to communicate emotions through emails and Zoom, Hummel says.
