Kindergarten:

Mary Mallon's Class
Mary Mallon has been teaching at Miller's Run School since 1992. Currently, she is teaching Kindergarten and Grade 2. Kindergarten meets every morning from 8:05-12:00. Enrollment in Kindergarten is 10 students this year. In the afternoon, Mary is also teaching Science and Social Studies in the second grade.

With the primary focus on academic readiness, the Kindergarten program scaffolds with the pre-kindergarten programs that are offered at Miller's Run School.

At the Kindergarten level, the focus is on early literacy skills and early mathematical skills and learning those skills that will enable student success.  Early literacy knowledge is assessed using the Kindergarten Observation Assessment with the goal of meeting or exceeding the Vermont Standards. The Investigations Program is used in k-2 to teach early numeracy. The children learn and practice math skills as they progress through the Investigations' units.  Early numeracy understanding is assessed using the Math Recovery Screening Tool.

Direct instruction and the use of the Work Board, a way of circulating through learning centers, combine to encourage student independence.

School-wide consistency in teaching practices at Miller's Run School through teacher professional development, enhances student learning.

From chrysalis to butterfly, 
Kindergarten loves science!
