Officer Lorne

We are so fortunate here at Riverview to have a wonderful collaboration with our City Police Department. Officer Lorne is a constant presence here in our building and a very friendly face for our students. Yesterday he came into our classroom to talk to us about how we can be a good friend and how we can stop bullies in their tracks. The students had a lot to offer the conversation.

Meet Your Teacher!

Hi! My name is Mrs. Scheible and I am going to be your Kindergarten teacher! This will be my 6th year teaching Kindergarten at Riverview but my 10th year teaching total. I love Kindergarten and all the exploring, learning and fun we get to have!

 

I am currently working on my Master's degree in Educational Technology and I am loving everything that I am learning. I can't wait to introduce all of the things I have learned to you and your families.

 

I grew up in a small town in Ontario, Canada and I absolutely love to go home and visit. My three sisters, two nieces, two nephews, and parents still live there.

 

This summer I got to spend a lot of time with my 4 1/2 year old son Rowan, who will also be a Cardinal this year in Mrs .Zocco's Young Kindergarten class, my 2 1/2 year old son Grady and my husband Nick. We played a lot outside, went camping and swimming, kayaking and  we went on a few fun trips.  

I am excited to spend the next year learning with you!

Little Engineers

We have spent a lot of time in Kindergarten learning about shapes and especially 3 dimensional shapes. At centers we got to explore the engineer in us and build 3D shapes using play-doh and sticks. So much fun!

Spring Has SpRuNg In Kindergarten!

We have been so excited these last two weeks to FINALLY have some Spring weather. Along with running like wild animals on the playground and just having an extra hop in our steps we have also been witnessing life in our classroom. We were given some tadpole eggs last week and were able to witness the hatching of tadpoles. We now have some that have developed gills and we are hoping to be able to see legs develop and maybe even these little tadpoles will transform into frogs before the school year is over (which is sooner than we think).

Since we have been learning about what plants need in order to grow, we also thought we'd dabble a little in the field of gardening, well kind of. Last week at center time we planted some grass and gave it all it needed. Believe it or not, let than a week later, we are already seeing sprouts. We added our funny face pictures so that once the grass is tall enough it will look like we have spiky green hair. 

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!!

Even though we had a snow day yesterday, we certainly could not let Dr. Seuss' birthday pass by without a little celebrating in Kindergarten. Today we made Cat in the Hat hats and we read A LOT of Dr. Seuss stories! The kiddos loved bringing in their favorite Dr. Seuss books today too!

Science or Magic?

On Monday we got to wrap up our celebration during the month of February of all things Science. The PTO brought us a wonderful "magical" man who preformed some magic tricks for us along with some pretty cool science experiments. One of his experiments was to make his own hover board. This is our friend Aiden getting to ride on the hover board.
