The LSS team is here to support students and families during this transition into learning at home. They are able to adapt IEP goals to suit your home environment, offer language supports to those working to further develop their English language, as well as be available for other academic supports that may be needed. The team is also offering 1:1 regular reading support sessions for our vulnerable readers. Please contact Ms. Breanne Glover for further information, bglover@sd61.bc.ca.
Check out this short, helpful video for great tips on supporting your child's reading practice.
A message from Ms. Moser:
Hello Cloverdale! I have been working with other teachers in the district to come up with a fun challenge you can participate in if you'd like. There will be prizes handed out, so get building!
You will create a Rube Goldberg machine, video it, and share it with our team of judges who will then post it on this website (posting it is optional and a media release form must have been signed at the start of the year). If you haven't singed a media release form you can send me the video so I can see what you've built but it will not be posted on the website.
All the assignment information and deadlines are included on this website. Please make sure to read the details on the website if you'd like to participate!
Once you have completed your machine you can take a video and send it to me at cmoser@sd61.bc.ca by Friday, May 29. Let me know if you want me to share it with other schools from the district. I will be checking for media release forms before sharing. If you have any questions you can email me at cmoser@sd61.bc.ca. I'm looking forward to seeing what you create!
