Welcome to our new class blog for Miller's Mon-STARS!


I am very excited about starting our new blog, and I hope you will visit often to stay up to day with what is happening in our classroom.

We are going to be taking our Curriculum Based Assessment on Wednesday and Thursday this week.  Students are encouraged to do their best and to not stress over these assessments.

We are studying some great things this week --

Language Arts
We have started our Traditional Literature unit with fairy tales and will continue with fables.  We will begin writing a story next week in the form of a fable.  We will also study myths, legends, and tall tales.

Math
We have started our unit on capacity.  We have learned about customary units and will learn about the metric units of capacity.  We created a "Capacity Caped Crusader" to help the students see the relationships between the different measures.  It was a lot of fun!

Science
We are finished up our study of food chains and will soon begin our unit on life cycles.  Each student will make a habitat for observation of live ladybugs!  We will observe the ladybugs for several days.

PTA News
If you haven't already, please take a few minutes to fill out the PTA survey regarding funds that have not been allocated in the budget.  Your input on how these funds are used is very important to the PTA.

Here is the link to the survey --

Parent Climate Survey
Each day staff, students and volunteers at Forest Creek Elementary work hard to ensure academic programs and the campus environment meet the needs of all children.

You are a critical part of our success! The survey will only be available for a short time, please participate today.
