Mrs. Michele Burgess' Class

Mrs. Burgess' classroom offers students many interesting areas to explore and learn.  Students may choose to read a good book in the reading center.  Math handheld games offer students the opportunity to improve their math skills as they play exciting games.

The eight classroom computers are always busy.  Students work a variety of software titles to practice skills across the curriculum.  Cornerstone Math is a great new math software funded by a grant Fifth grade teachers worked on. 

Students use Accelerated Reader regularly.  After reading one of the identified library books, each student takes a short comprehension test on the computer.  Points are awarded for correct answers based on length and difficulty of the book.
