BLANCHARD ELEMENTARY

 

 

 

Ms. Laurie McGee's Class

 

Ms. McGee's 5th grade classroom is full of activities and resources that motivate and encourage students to want to learn.  Students are able to earl free time in which they can review, explore and expand on skills in all subject areas.  Among the student' favorites are the Reading Loft, the Computers and the Writing, Listening, Math, Science, Social Studies, Language and Art Centers.  The students find these centers not only educational, but also a lot of fun!

Students in Ms. McGee's class also get the opportunity at a chance to be the "Student of the Week" in which they receive special recognition, an award and a week as the classroom helper. In addition to this honor, all students can also earn weekly certificates that allow them to sit with a friend, have a homework free night or have extra classroom free time.  The students work very hard to earn these special privileges.

A favorite of the students in Ms. McGee's class is Reading Groups.  Students rotate among the Teacher's Group, Written Seat Work and Centers.  The students love to work in the small groups and they enjoy reading and playing games in Ms. McGee's small group to review for their weekly Reading tests.

The students in Ms. McGee's 5th grade class work extremely hard and are eager to learn and grow as they enjoy their last year at Blanchard Elementary.
