Mrs. Darby-Miller’s Classroom Edit display name

Your custom url is https://www.donorschoose.org/mrs-millerinvegas

We are two classes (AM & PM) of Kindergarten students in Nevada. We LOVE school, and our teacher LOVES to teach us how to draw & write. In fact, we are learning to read AND write at the same time. We are so proud to tell others about the pictures we draw in our journals. Our teacher draws "mystery pictures" most mornings for us on the overhead projector. These are step by step pictures of things like giraffes, hot air balloons, sea animals, and lots of other fun pictures. She does not tell us what the picture is at first... we have to think about it while we draw. It is SO exciting to talk to our friends during writing, and share with each other what we think the picture might be and what details we are going to make in our own journal. We learn so much when we journal. Our teacher makes sure we know new vocabulary that goes with the mystery picture, that we use our sight words and invented spelling in our writing, and we even talk about the day and date each morning!
