About Gay Miller

Hello! My name is Gay Miller and I am here to help upper elementary teachers find teaching materials that will make planning lessons quick and easy by providing "Monday Morning Ready" language arts units and activities for students.

You're in the right place if you:

• Teach in the upper elementary grades (4–6)
• Love novel studies and short stories
• Are looking for new ideas to try in your classroom
• Want learning to be fun with games and hands-on activities
• Like teaching difficult skills with the aid of animated shorts
• Love using organizers to help students plan out answers
• Enjoy video lessons
• Teach in inclusive settings or support diverse learners

As far back as tenth grade, I knew I wanted to be a special education teacher. I finished college and began my first teaching job in Johnson County, Tennessee in January 1980. I taught in the same school district until 2016. During the last 14 years of my active teaching career, I spent the majority of my time team teaching with some of the best 4th, 5th, and 6th grade language arts teachers in an inclusion program. I especially loved creating book units for our students. With between 60 to 80 students in each of these grade levels, my units reached a lot of students.

My goal is to share what I learned teaching with these great teachers and students with you.
