We took our students to a performance of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at URI. For many of the students, it was their 1st experience witnessing the magic of live theatre. Most reported on the ride home that they thoroughly enjoyed the production! @RIDeptEd @CoventryOakers @OakerELA

Students unleashed their creativity & confidence in our OTHELLO launch activity today on stage in our CHS auditorium, embracing the challenge of Shakespeare's language & transforming reading apprehension into artistic expression and laughter. @CoventryOakers @OakerELA @RIDeptEd

Today’s hexagonal thinking activity to wrap up BEOWULF was a great showcase of critical thinking and collaboration. Job well done, seniors. #oakerpride @OakerELA @CoventryOakers @RIDeptEd @studysync

I enjoyed our RI Teachers of the Year Bookclub discussion of Monica Wood’s novel entitled “How to Read a Book” this afternoon. We had a nice cross-section of RI teachers from different content areas and levels which added flavor to the mix. Thoughtful book! @RIDeptEd

New year, fresh start! Remember students, success starts with showing up. Let’s set the tone for the year by showing up present and ready to learn! 📚📝🍎 Hear from Education Commissioner @AInfanteGreen as part of our #AttendanceMattersRI campaign! #Cool2BeInSchoolRI

Cheers to my period 5 seniors today who shared their original Shakespearean sonnets in our poetry circle showcase this morning. Their poems were soulful, REAL, & deeply reflective. The Bard would be proud I suspect. I know I am! @OakerELA @CoventryOakers @RIDeptEd

BACK AT THE TOP!

Deck the Halls! Our advisory students have been working on our gingerbread themed classroom door decorations. We love these smart fresh(man) cookies! #oakerpride @CoventryOakers @OakerELA @RIDeptEd

Our Poetry Cafe event was wonderful today as seniors showcased their creative prowess by sharing their original self-satire poems. I loved the supportive exchange of feedback too that embodied the power of collaborative learning. #oakerpride @CoventryOakers @RIDeptEd @OakerELA

Students in Honors English 12 offered one another peer feedback on their “My Essential Story” multimodal projects this morning. It’s great to see them interacting with respect & appreciation. Great work too! Very moving narratives! #oakerpride @CoventryOakers @OakerELA @RIDeptEd

Period 2 seniors CRUSHED the hexagonal thinking game exploring connections in Kafka’s METAMORPHOSIS. Great work! Loved seeing your critical thinking skills soar! #oakerpride @OakerELA @CoventryOakers @studysync @RIDeptEd

Kudos to you period 5 seniors! Your presentations today on marketing devices in action were engaging and analytical! It was a fun morning watching you shine! #oakerpride @CoventryOakers @OakerELA @RIDeptEd

Great work happening in period 3 this afternoon as seniors collaborate & conference on Kafka character posters. We are wrapping up our StudySync novel unit on THE METAMORPHOSIS with depth, style, and fun! 🤩 #oakerpride @CoventryOakers @studysync @RIDeptEd @OakerELA

My period 5 seniors enjoyed our “old school” poster project this morning. We’re making some interdisciplinary connections to Huxley’s BRAVE NEW WORLD and working some collaboration and critical thinking muscles too. #oakerpride @CoventryOakers @OakerELA @studysync @RIDeptEd

This morning our awesome guidance team is presenting the “Freshmen Credit Story” to our 9th grade advisories. It’s so important to know the expectations and resources to pursue success! #oakerpride @OakerGuidance @CoventryOakers @RIDeptEd

We had a great visit during grade 9 advisory today. Keely & Bailey, our amazing senior mentors, talked to freshmen about getting involved and maximizing their time at CHS. Pro tips from students at the top of their game! #oakerpride @CoventryOakers @coventryschools @RIDeptEd

📣Thanks for sharing @LimaBoyle. Love to hear about students confidently showcasing their speaking and listening skills! #StudySync

Nice afternoon celebrating RI educators at the annual Waterfire celebration event! Special CONGRATS to our Coventry District ToY, Mike Cook. Great seeing the kids in action to celebrate teachers too. @RIDeptEd @CoventryOakers @coventryschools #oakerpride

This Saturday, 9.27, RIDE will once again host @WaterFire: A Salute to RI Educators - a celebration honoring teachers for their service & dedication to their students. The award ceremony will begin at 5pm at Memorial Park in downtown Providence. More info: ride.ri.gov/press-releases…

So very proud of my amazing seniors for their pinwheel debate performance today. They are looking & sounding like college level students more & more each day as they share insights, respectfully challenging differing points of view. @CoventryOakers @OakerELA @RIDeptEd @studysync
