MEET YOUR TEACHER

Hello new friends!  I am so EXCITED that we have been brought together.  My name is Helen Wilcox.  I have been teaching third grade at Powers Ferry for 6 years.  I have taught fourth, kindergarten, and third grade for 12 years.  Our classroom maintains a friendly atmosphere where you are ALWAYS WELCOME and are treated like family.  See you soon in room 207!

Patricia Pollacco Interactive Study

The students are reading and listening to Patricia Pollacco books in class.  After each story we are discussing the elements found in many of her texts.  What is your favorite book by Patricia Pollacco?

"Read the Day Away" Day

The kids wore their pajamas and cuddled up in blankets to listen to various guest readers.  Mrs. Doak stopped by to read Chocolate Fever.  We also explored our favorite books.  Reading means so much to our students.  Today was outstanding!

Stack and Pack Math

We have studied the basics of multiplication.  The kids were able to complete concrete activities for multiplication.  Photos will soon be posted to demonstrate some of their work in action.

GA History Field Trip- November 14

Our class will spend a day traveling through the history of Georgia.  We will attend a facility that re-enacts the major historical events of Georgia.  The kids will be very active listeners and enjoy the day tremendously.   The photos show a Creek Indian with his fish catching basket.  There is a blacksmith sowing how items, such as candle holders, were made.  The final photo shows J. Olgethorpe.  Hopefully all Georgians know that name.

Candy Math

Children used candy skittles to make arrays of the multiplication number sentences previously taught in class.  Together we enjoyed our "Fun Friday" activites in order to review for our mathematics exam.
