Miller's Little Ponies
Fun in First Grade
Learning with Miller's Littles
Happy Fall Y'all!
Jack-o-lanterns
Autumn is full of changes. Each day, Miller's Littles are discussing seasonal changes and changes that our pony Mokie experiences as her surroundings move through the seasons.
Halloween Word Problems
We are working on making our picture proof match the words in our story problem. Look at this beautiful artwork and correct number sentence! Some important words to know are "equation, solution, and proof." We always double check our math using different strategies as well!
Savanna Sharing
We are done sharing our Community Projects. Crozet has never looked so good! The students did a wonderful job on their models of Crozet businesses!
Read, Read, Read!
Julia and Lillie Hard at Work
Reading groups are going so well! Miller's Littles are making progress and are close readers - they read more than once, get the "gist" of the text, and determine words of importance.
Grace and Savanna
Pointing to text is important while children are still learning concept of word or already reading chapter books. They are able to determine what individual words say and mean by focusing on one word at a time. They understand more of what they read when they don't skip over words.
Siri, Isabella, and Abigail
These girls help one another search for a word that they think all first graders should know. Once we make a list and vote, the word with the most votes is added to our interactive word wall. We can't wait to give away the first word just like in the book Julian's Word Jar!
Apple Taste Test
Using Our Five Senses and Descriptive Language
Look for the students who are fans of sour Granny Smith apples and who would have much rather had another Rome or Gala apple!

The Paramount Theatre
Field Trip to see Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse
We had a blast seeing such a wonderful play. Ask your child what their favorite part of the play is - there are so many story elements to choose from!
Here we are in line waiting to be seated.
Seated and anxiously awaiting show time!
We are all smiles and enjoying the experience.
Family Fall Day at Camp Friendship
Weekend Fall Fun
We had a blast at Camp Friendship this Saturday with the kiddos from Crozet who made it out to our Family Day at Camp. Bella, Christine, and Daniel J. even got to ride Finger Paint, one of Mokie's very best friends. All of Miller's Littles groomed Spotlight and Finger Paint during our field trip to Camp Friendship earlier in the month and they were the ponies used to do the pony rides!
Spotlight, Miss Ashley, and Miss Mandi
See the spots on his belly? That's the very reason why he is called Spotlight!
Finger Paint
This paint pony can't wait to see Miller's Littles again!
Finger Paint, Christine, and Ms. Miller
Fixing our stirrups to be the proper length is an important part of preparing to ride.
About Ms. Miller
I am from a military family and grew up in several areas around the United States. I received my B.A. from the University of Mary Washington in American Studies. I enjoyed Mary Washington so much that I decided to stay and get my Masters of Science in Elementary Education. This will be my eighth year as a teacher and I love being a part of a child's individual learning journey. In addition to teaching, I am passionate about horseback riding and being active outside. I am very excited to be working at Crozet Elementary this year!
