Lindbergh directors share ways to have fun while socially distancing themselves – St. Louis Call Newspapers

Lindbergh Schools principals gathered through the Zoom video conferencing app to share some fun ideas about social distance with family members.

The video includes the principal of each school in Lindbergh, from early childhood to high school.

With the help of teachers and parents, students are learning online on April 22 during the extended closure of COVID-19.

The video conveyed an important message: Students should be socially distanced from the spread of coronaviruses, but they can still have fun while doing so.

Video opens with said Secondary Education Director Ronni Zagora, saying: “We are here with your friends, our directors in Lindbergh, and just like you, they love to spend time together. “

“But since the school is closed right now, these guys need to stay home so they can stay healthy and not get sick of other people, and it’s not really fun,” said Elementary Education Director Craig Hamby.

Elementary education director Craig Hamby ‘zoomed in’ from the Wild West.

To be safe and have fun, all Lindbergh principals have offered a different idea of ​​what students can do in quarantine.

Lindbergh Early Education Director Charlene Ziegler offered a tried-and-tested fortress cover option.

Inside the blanket with the fort, “I can have virtual game dates with my friends,” Ziegler said.

Crestwood’s director Jodi Oliver had a tried and tested method of communication that could go back in style: writing letters and sending mail.

“I’ll write a letter, you know, like on paper,” Oliver said. “And then you put it in an envelope and mail it to your mailman.”

To help the students do something different with their friends every day, the principal is Dressel Pat Schoenekase said, “You can start booking your day with your friends and share a story with them every day. ”

The book could be online or one off your shelf, he added.

Kennerly Elementary School Principal DeAndre Thomas showed some dance moves for students and said they could join them.

“Let’s have a virtual dance party that you can invite your friends to, your family can join,” he said.

Demonstrating moves as he talked, Thomas said, “We can do things like runners, what about the basket … What about the sprinkler? And there are many more – we can make MC Hammer, Carlton or Funky Chicken. If you don’t know these dances, just look for them – let the parties begin! “

Share all the fun below:

Christina Phillips, long principal, suggested that students be preoccupied with board games while inside.

“We love to play board games. You can play the board games you have at home or play virtual ones online, ”she said, noting that she is one of her favorite Battleship.

Sappington Elementary Director Ta’Keshia Parker also suggested students turn to books while they are currently at home.

“Let’s start a book club. I’m currently reading ‘Restart’. I wish some friends would join me,” Parker said.

Gifted Education Coordinator Tracy Bednarick said students can visit places almost until they can physically visit places.

“I think I could go on a virtual outing with friends,” Bednarick said, pointing to places in the zoom background. “We can FaceTime or Google Hangout while browsing websites.”

Concord managing director Angie Moehlmann said: “We’ll use our Legos at home and build a lot of really good structures and stuff, and we’ll share them on Facebook with our friends.”

Sperreng High School Principal Lauren Boeger said she would organize a virtual “lunch” with her friends and “watch a repeat of the incredible Cardinals.”

Flooding the basket, Truman High School Principal Mike Straatmann said, “I challenge you in a virtual horse game.”

Lindbergh High School Principal Eric Cochran said he would attend a virtual dinner with friends.

“You can have one too and show your useless knowledge to friends,” Cochran suggested to the high school seniors who watched them.

And Cochran, a Missouri teacher of the year in 2011 teaching LHS social studies before he was principal, even had a question about how to get started.

“Here’s a mind: who was the first American president born in the 20th century?” Cochran asked.
