Really proud of my senior students. They created some well-written, artsy, creative, original satire projects as a culmination to our Oscar Wilde unit. It's great to see them shine! They have social consciences and passion. It's my honor to guide them! @RIDeptEd @CoventryOakers

Project-based learning keeps everyone going, especially late in senior year! It is great to see students excited to craft their original satires (visual/written) as they prepare to share them in class next week. Fun start to the day for us all! @CoventryOakers @OakerELA @RIDeptEd

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

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! 📚📝🍎

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

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
