Mrs. Cliff
My name is Mrs. Cliff and I teach Kindergarten at Loyola Catholic School. I have been teaching Kindergarten since 1970! Wow! That’s a long time! I attended LeSueur High School and graduated in 1966. From there I attended the University of Minnesota and also the College of St. Benedict where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1970. I have loved teaching kindergarten because these children keep my mind and my heart young!
I was born in San Francisco, California and moved to Dayton, Washington. My father worked for the Green Giant Company and we moved to Le Sueur, Minnesota when I was in 6th grade. Ever since I can remember, I always wanted to be a teacher! It has been such a rewarding career for me. Little children bring so much joy to your heart each day! I've been passionate about what I do and I hope that I instill that passion with the children I work with each day!
I believe that every day should be a happy day for students. I use a lot of positive affirmations with my students. I believe that if you think you can do something, you can! I want my students to feel good about themselves and enjoy learning every day! I try to keep my attitude and my enthusiasm very high for these little children because they deserve it! Over the years I feel that I have become a better teacher because I have added more "heart" into my teaching along with the knowledge part of it all. Children need to know that they are loved and cared for in today's world.
