Routines for Success

Grade 3/4A have had a fabulous start to the year getting to know each other and establishing our routines to help set us up for a successful and fun year.

 

The first week of school in 3/4B has been filled with excitement and a new chapter! We have settled back into our school routines in our classroom, met new friends, and reconnected with old ones. The week began with icebreaker activities, setting a positive tone for the year ahead. Together, we wrote our class mission statement, capturing our shared values of respect, responsibility and learning. We also focused on establishing routines for success, fostering an environment that supports our learning and celebrates how we all think differently. We are all excited for the year ahead and look forward to collaborating and achieving our individual learning goals!

 

Grade 3/4C have had lots of group and class discussions about what we want our classroom to look like, sound like and feel like so that everyone can try their best to be respectful, responsible and a learner. Together we wrote our mission statement and signed declaring it as an agreement. We have also been playing get to know you games and activities and have enjoyed Friday Fun Time, learning how to play Kickball.

 

In 3/4D we have been getting to know each other and establish classroom rules and expectations. Students shared what they would like the classroom to look, feel and sound like. We revisited our SWPBS matrix of expectations and what it means to be responsible, respectful and a learner. From these ideas we brainstormed class rules and made a mission statement that students signed their name against to be accountable for following. We are all looking forward to a positive year of learning!

 

The first week of school in 3/4E has been a fun and fresh start! Lots of new faces and names to learn this year but already we’ve settled in with games and sharing our holiday stories. In class we’ve been brainstorming what makes the perfect learning environment for us and setting the expectations that will get us there. We created a class mission statement that highlights what the school values of respect, responsibility, and a love for learning look like in our room. We also focused on building good habits and making our classroom a place where everyone’s ideas are valued. We're excited for the year ahead and can’t wait to learn and grow together!
