Picture Day is coming on October 27th
Mrs. Werderich’s first grade class visited Hoover Outdoor Education Center in Yorkville. They learned about animals and their habitats, map reading skills and took a hike. Overall it was a beautiful day to explore the outdoors.
Kindergarten students, in Mrs. Rodriguez's class, are working on stretching their brains and building STAMINA during Daily 5 time. As a class, we are up to 20 minutes of STAMINA on our computer programs Lexia and Dreambox. Here are some students working on Lexia today.

We have had a great week here at PH Miller! The students have been excited to be here, and the teachers have been enjoying their time with their students. Our dismissal has been getting better each day. We wanted to thank all of our parents for their patience in the time consuming learning process of getting all of our young students to the correct transportation home. We would like to ask all of our parents that are picking up their children by car, or as a walker, to follow a couple of procedures. Please do not start lining up in our parking lot until 2PM. The students on the south side of the building become antsy, and have a difficult time focusing on their teachers, when they see parents lining up for pickup. The children think it is time to leave, when they see parents pulling up to line up. Also, when you are here to pick up your student, please have your car rider sign in the front window of your car. This makes lining up the students much quicker, and we are able to get the children to their parents in a much timelier manner. Starting Monday, August 30th, 2021, you will be asked to go to the end of the line if you do not have your car rider sign. This way, we will be able to expedite the dismissal process for everyone. If you need additional signs, please call or email the office at 630-552-8504 or tdavis@plano88.org.
¡Hemos tenido una gran semana aquí en PH Miller! Los estudiantes estan emocionados de estar aquí y los maestros estan disfrutando de su tiempo con sus estudiantes. Nuestra salida ha ido mejorando cada día. Queremos agradecer a todos nuestros padres por su paciencia en el proceso de aprendizaje que consume tiempo para llevar a todos nuestros jóvenes estudiantes al transporte correcto a casa. Nos gustaría pedirles a todos nuestros padres que recogen a sus hijos en automóvil o caminando, que sigan un par de procedimientos. Por favor, no empiece a hacer fila en nuestro estacionamiento hasta las 2PM. Los estudiantes del lado sur del edificio se ponen ansiosos y tienen dificultades para concentrarse en sus maestros cuando ven a los padres haciendo fila para que los recojan. Ellos piensan que es hora de irse, cuando ven que los padres hacen fila. Además, cuando esté aquí para recoger a su estudiante, ponga el letrero en la ventana delantera de su automóvil. Esto hace que la alineación de los estudiantes sea mucho más rápida y podemos llevar a los niños a sus padres de una manera mucho más oportuna. A partir del lunes 30 de agosto de 2021, lo enviaremos al final de la fila si no tiene el letrero de conductor de su automóvil. De esta manera, podremos agilizar el proceso de salida para todos. Si necesita carteles adicionales, llame o envíe un correo electrónico a la oficina al 630-552-8504 o tdavis@plano88.org.
