About Mrs. Miller:

This is Mrs. Miller's 17th year at Lone Rock School.

Questions and Answers:

How did you come to teach here?

My children went to school here and I had always liked the community involvement in the school. I also liked the staff and liked the way they had a genuine concern for each student.
I came here from Stevensville where I taught Special Ed. for l0 years. My first teaching experience was one year in Shelby in the Resource Room.

What are the highlights of your school year?

When the children realize that the sounds blend together to form words. When reading finally clicks and the light bulbs come on and it starts making sense to them. They are so excited and want to keep reading and reading. My goal as a teacher is to make everyday fun and exciting and having the students look forward to school every day. I am the one who sets the foundation for their educational attitude. I try to make everything an adventure.

What are the interesting projects your class works on?

We study whales and other animals that live in the ocean. We also explore the Chinese New Year. Being a helpful friend and working together to help each other is stressed at Thanksgiving. Studying communities and how we work together to help each other is very important. We also cook using the letter of the week which will help them work on the letter and sounds and to have them connect to something they are familiar with.

What is the best part of teaching at Lone Rock? Why do you like teaching here?

The best part of teaching is the children.
I really like how the community gets involved and how supportive they are in helping our school. I have great parent volunteers that have grown into great friends.
The staff is also wonderful and supportive and really helps when you need it.
