Our trout are here! After attending a fantastic #troutintheclassroom conference yesterday, Cooper 6 students are now caretakers of ~150 eggs. We'll raise them for the next eight months at which time they will be released into our local watershed. #scarsdalemspride

Earlier today, Cooper 6 had a virtual visit with Dr. Alan Eustace, current record holder of the world's highest skydive! His engaging and interactive presentation helped students to prepare for the Product of Learning for our current Experimental Design unit.

This year, the Cooper 6 team is focusing on #Resilience. From designing the sturdiest LEGO Towers to devising a PBIS currency system, our students are demonstrating grit and perseverance. We even have a tardigrade mascot! (Name forthcoming)

Students were able to make observations of a real parachute canopy used by a member of the military. It was way bigger than we thought! Great inspiration for our end of unit Products of Learning: creating parachutes for eggs! #LATIC #scarsdalemspride

The weather was perfect today (albeit a little chilly) for our trip to @OuthouseOrchard! Cooper 6 students and teachers bonded while navigating a corn maze, picking some apples/pumpkins, taking a hayride, and getting a lesson on bees. The honey was delicious! #scarsdalemspride
