Karen Penry, Middle School Language Arts
Hello and welcome! I am so excited to begin another year with Cloverleaf Enrichment School. I absolutely love teaching your students, and this year, we are turning up the volume on how we learn.
While our classroom will always be rooted in building strong relationships and a love for reading and writing, we are pushing into high-inquiry territory. In addition to our core ELA work, students will step into The Exchange—our afternoon workshop where we fuse traditional literature with logic and problem-solving. Through dynamic student teaching projects, hands-on activities, and in-depth Socratic seminars, students will learn to not just read literature, but analyze it like architects and strategists.
A quick note on logistics: We use email and Google Classroom to correspond with students about assignments, special events, and reminders. To help build strong independent habits, please encourage your student to check their email weekly before school.
If you have any questions or concerns throughout the year, please feel free to contact me. Let's make this an incredible year of innovation and growth!
