Ms. Lair

   First Grade 

Hi! My name is Amanda Lair and I have been a first grade teacher at Mil Lake for 3 years.  Before that, I taught Kindergarten, 2nd, 4th and 5th grade.  I also taught basic skills teacher for 3rd and 4th grade.  I graduated from Montclair State University in 2014 and received Masters in Literacy Instruction and Reading Specialist Certification from Caldwell University in 2019.

First grade is a special year for students, and I am committed to making this an educational and fun year!

Below are links to websites the district offers to students.  

Reading eggs is an online website that supports each child’s learning by offering individual, one-on-one lessons that allow children to progress at their own rate. 


BrainPOP is a website that offers educational videos, games, and activities for students in grades K–8. BrainPOP is designed to be aligned with state education standards. 


PebbleGo provides a whole world of information specifically designed to be relevant and engaging for kids, making it the perfect place for independent exploration.
