Meet The Teacher

MEET THE TEACHER 



Mrs. Melissa Scheible 

I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year and I am elated to get to know your family and work together to meet some impressive goals this school year. We are going to have so much fun exploring, engaging, questioning, practicing, retrying, problem solving and creating this year. You are going to be amazed at how much your child learns in Kindergarten. 

Just a little bit about me... I am a small town Canadian girl who has lived in Michigan now for about 16 years. I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree from Ferris State University (GO BULLDOGS) in 2006 and I now have my Master's Degree from Central Michigan University in Educational Technology! I am married and have two awesome sons Rowan 6 and Grady 4. We are a sports loving family so our extra curricular activities usually include some sort of sporting event. We also enjoy camping together, travelling and exploring new places.

Top It!

The math program we use here at Riverview is called Everyday Mathematics. One of the games that we introduce through this program is a MUST for Kindergarten kiddos called Top It! This is a game that can be adapted in so many ways, you can keep it just the simple "greater number" version, or you can make it an addition or subtraction version, etc. Throughout the year we make it more challenging for the students but it is definitely something they love and we play often. The best part about this game is that it can be played at home with a regular deck of cards.

Library Time

We get to visit our school library once a week, every Monday afternoon. The students sit and listen to a story with our librarian and he teaches them some sign language each time. This time they got to pick out their books and bring them back to our classroom for the week. They were so excited, as you can see, and ready to read!

Willaby Wallaby

Ms. O'Hara sings this song with my Ks at the end of every music class and they love it!! I always end up getting it stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

Professor Pineapple

I introduced Professor Pineapple today at school. When doing an activity I am always looking for someone to "teach" their friends how to complete the task. They absolutely LOVE it! It's such a great motivator and a reward for students who are working so hard to do their best.

Rainbow Names

Mrs. Miller is drowning in rainbow names! This is one of my favorite projects and I LOVE how it lights up our hallway when we get them all hung up above our lockers. We do this project every year during the first week of school. It's always fun to see how the kids learn how to manipulate glue and how they organize their colors.

First Day of Kindergarten

We survived the first day of K! It was quite a whirlwind and nothing like a real day of Kindergarten, but we made it. I have such an awesome group of students this year, it sure does make me excited. I only had one student with a sad heart but he totally came around and said "I love Kindergarten!" at the end of the day. 😊

Look at these sweet faces!!! It's going to be a great year!
