@gregluterbach @CochraneAcademy That’s my classroom!! Getting real and exciting!

[Mrs. Coverdale CCA @CCAgrade5]

Brainstormed the highlights of our year in a sharing circle (thanks @mrs_s_4 ) which was followed by a wild dance party to all the corny learning videos we watched this year! Triangles. Planets. Photosynthesis! What a full year of learning it has been! @CochraneAcademy @rvsed

Finished off the year with batik work on fabric. These turned our crazy good! The kids loved each step of the process. @CochraneAcademy #rvsed

Grade sixers having a blast conducting experiments on forces of flight. Who knew how great two circles and a straw could fly, or entertain!? Great learning! @rvsed @CochraneAcademy

My grade sixes did their writing PAT today! They were greeted with notes of encouragement - and they did their very best. Super proud of this crew. @CochraneAcademy #rvsed

Nothing like a good book tasting. The next day - every one of my 31 students were begging for a book they had “tasted”! Best 1.5 hours of the year for me and them! #rvsed @CochraneAcademy

Word Nerd Wednesday! What do we do with multisyllabic words? How do we attack them? Do we skip them? Good conversations and an engaging activity to follow. @CochraneAcademy #rvsed

We needed some community building this afternoon. A lot of changes in grade six this week. So, why not analyze the symbolism of lighthouses - hope & refuge. A safe place. And then…do some art! These are stunning! @CochraneAcademy #rvsed

Literacy at its most creative. Live writing prompt - full airport experience. Entire school (K-8) involvement. What a great way to build school community and excitement for writing! #rvsed @CochraneAcademy #grade6

Amazing Race math review. Such an engaging activity that - surprisingly - gave me time to meet with small groups over key skills. @CochraneAcademy #rvsed

[Mrs. Coverdale CCA @CCAgrade5]

The Lightening Thief! Symbolism around all things blue, and blue candy to celebrate! Student engagement right off - and I think they were more amused with the little bags than the candy. 🤣 #rvsed @CochraneAcademy

Today we did a Greek taste testing for our Ancient Athens intro. Olive oil right from Greece! Students were able smell and taste different oils - Greece won - of course. Thanks, Ben’s Olive Mill for my tour and inspiration! @CochraneAcademy #rvsed #Greece

The sixes started narrative writing with entertaining beginnings. We used @JamboardC to create our beginnings around prompts. The excitement in the room is reflected in each post-it!! I love the immediate feedback it provides! #rvsed @CochraneAcademy #rvslit #empoweringwriters

It’s been a week of learning in #gradesix ! I’m trying to love…persuasive writing. (Including spiders!) And, reasons to give thanks! Happy Thanksgiving!! @CochraneAcademy #rvsed

This is truth! 🙌

@KC_Educator @itskalicrawford Out of my Mind! So good! Fish in a Tree too!

[Mrs. Coverdale CCA @CCAgrade5]

Grade sixes learning about the 4 forces of flight and the relationships with gliding. Observed parachutes and flying “rabbits”. So fun! @CochraneAcademy #rvsed

[Mrs. Coverdale CCA @CCAgrade5]

PL days are wonderful opportunities for me to learn - but oh - the work that goes into them! @CochraneAcademy

[Mrs. Coverdale CCA @CCAgrade5]

Celebrating our first PAT with a visit from the RVS Board of Trustees where my kids talked about the year of writing. Then ended with Slurpees! “Such a great day, Mrs. Coverdale!” 🤣🥰 @CochraneAcademy #rvsed

[Mrs. Coverdale CCA @CCAgrade5]

Got a surprise encouragement. @mrs_s_4 you are the bomb! Thank you @CochraneAcademy #rvsed
