Welcome to 5th Grade ELA! My name is Elisabeth Lawrence.  I am a graduate of Summerville High School.  Following high school, I earned a BS degree at the College of Charleston in Elementary Education and a MEd in Early Childhood Education.  In addition,  I have my Gifted and Talented Education teaching endorsement.  This is my twenty-third year in education.  Athough, I have a variety of different grade levels and teaching experiences in other schools, I have been a teacher at Eagle Nest Elementary since the school opened in 2007.  I have been teaching Fifth Grade Language Arts for the past past five years, and this is my third year teaching GATE ELA. I love teaching reading, writing, and language skills.
