Classroom Routines & Expectations: We are a TRIBES classroom. We focus on instilling students with a real
sense of belonging and building a positive classroom environment so that all students can feel safe, take risks,
confidently accept challenges, and learn effectively. Students are responsible for taking an active part in their learning
by coming to class prepared (with their homework, agenda, writing materials) and on time. We encourage all parents
and guardians to take interest in their childs learning to help motivate, support and enhance their school experience.
We will give you additional information on how you can support your childs learning in the curriculum corner section
of our monthly newsletters. Looking very forward to working with you throughout the year. Welcome to Grade 4!
