English Language Arts at Lincoln Elementary School

Win Small... Win Often... All day... Every Day!

Welcome to our LNES English Language Arts site. We know in these current times that our families need support more now than ever as we embark on distance learning together. We want to ease your fears about how to help your child with reading and writing.

Our goal with this site is to provide resources to help support you and your child with their learning.

Please feel free to reach out to any of us on the ELA Team with questions or for support.

Our Goals:

  • Share ideas and resources of things you can do with your child at home to help support reading

  • Provide video clips of strategies that we are teaching to be support to you and your child.

  • Provide resources you can use to better understand how and what we are teaching.

  • Challenge Tasks for students looking for extra reading practice.

  • Highlight some of the great thinking and hard work by our LNES students.

Erin Magee

Reading Intervention Teacher

I love to learn which is why I became a teacher! I love helping students grow and find their passions in life. I have been teaching since 2013 and have done everything from teaching general studies in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade, to teaching Science, to being a private tutor and now working as a reading interventionist. I attended the University of Maryland, College Park and received my undergrad degree in Elementary Education. I got my Master’s degree from the University of Maryland where my focus was Human Development. I have also studied at George Washington University where I learned how to integrate curriculum across multiple subject areas and grade levels. In my free time, I love to do art, cook, sing, and play with my dog, Maisy!
