Welcome back to school! I am looking forward to working with the students, meeting families, and having a very productive, fun, and successful year. My name is Pamela Helgerson. I will be teaching 3rd through 5th Grade E.L.A. and social studies. Click on the red headings above to direct you to the desired page for important class information.
***If you wish to order books from Scholastic you may at www.scholastic.com Our class code is GLDF4. Ordering will give us points that will allow our class to get items to use in our classroom. Thank you for your order. I expect the children to read for 30 minutes or more daily. They should also have a book that they can read in the classroom. I do give them specific times for reading a book of their choice.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at:

*Please make sure that you have your supplies labeled with your name on them with a permanent marker before you bring them to school. I am posting student school supplies below. You can find a link to a downloadable/printable page under the red Links/Resources heading above.
