Sight Words
Sight words from our phonics program, Fundations, are coming home today in yellow folders. These are the suggested 'trick' words that kindergarten children memorize, as they cannot be sounded out.
Welcome to Kindergarten!
Welcome to Mrs. Miller's Kindergarten!
This is my fourth year as a kindergarten teacher at St. Joe's. As a parishioner and parent of three SJCS graduates, I love this community!
I have Elementary and Special Education degrees from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Catholic education is important to me, as I am a proud product of Catholic Schools.
In my free time, I can be found on the soccer sidelines, behind a camera, or reading a book.
