Welcome to the 2010 - 2011 school year. The first day of school went very smoothly. Students and teachers were excited to begin working together. I was very happy to see several familiar faces as well as students that are new to Cloverdale. Now that the first day jitters are over, the real work begins. Students will learn a great deal over the course of this school year, Families can support students by asking about their day and their learning. Providing a quiet place to complete homework, and lots of encouragement also helps students become sucessful. Finally, making sure that students get a good night sleep is very important. Together, the Cloverdale families and staff can work together to make this a great school year! |
 Welcome to Ms. Masheimer's Blog |
We can learn every day, even during the summer. One great idea for summer learning is to keep a journal. Journaling about the fun and exciting places that you visit during summer provides a real reason for students to write. Encourage lots of details in student writing. Attach real items to the journal page, such as a photo, brochure, or sticker. Adding this scrapbook feel to a journal makes it very real for students, and it's a nice keepsake too. Take opportunities as they arise to become learning opportunities, such as reading a map. As always, continue reading this summer too! |
Cloverdale will be trying a new method for student photo day this year. Join us for meet the teacher and have student photos taken the same day! We will have the cards and photographers ready for you before or after you meet your new teacher. If you can't make it to meet the teacher we will have a make-up day in October. |
