Laura Miller

First Grade Teacher 

Education:  I graduated from Covenant Life College, British Columbia in 1991 with a degree in Elementary Education

Educational Experience:  After I graduated, I taught Kindergarten for two years in Canada and three years in Texas.  In 1996 I moved back to Wisconsin and worked for the Wisconsin Dyslexia Institute where I taught for four years.  When the WDI closed, I continued to tutor and remediate learning disabled children as an independent contractor for four more years.  I first came to CWC in 2006 and  taught 4-K.  In 2007 I began to teach First Grade.  This is my fourth year teaching at this level and I absolutely love it!!!

Family:  Adam and I have been married for 14 years.  We have two children currently enrolled in CWC:  Mitchell is 10 and Melanie is 8.  We have family scattered throughout Canada, Colorado, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Theme:  God's Children Around the World is our theme this year.  We'll take some time to learn about children in other countries and how we are all a part of God's great plan.  It is going to be an extraordinary year!

The Teacher

Lord, who am I to teach the way

To little children day by day,

So prone myself to go astray?

I teach them knowledge, but I know

How faint they flicker and how low

The candles of my knowledge glow.

I teach them power to will and do,

But only now to learn anew

My own great weakness thru and thru.

I teach them love for all mankind

And all God's creatures, but I find

My love comes lagging far behind.

Lord, If their guide I still must be,

Oh, let the little children see

The teacher leaning hard on Thee.
