SPOKANE, Wash. The sounds of children screaming and laughing could be heard on the playgrounds of Adams Elementary Wednesday afternoon.
It was the sound of pure joy as students get to play with each other at recess again.
Inside Lisele Corneil’s third grade class, one student was heard gasping.
“You see a pattern?” Corniel asked her student about a math assignment about multiplication, the student now understanding what they see.
These are all the sounds teachers have been missing for nearly a year. It’s not the same on a computer screen.
“That was probably the hardest thing, not having that really close interaction, really being able to see them do their work and see what they’re doing,” Corneil said of virtual learning.
