September 7 to 10

 

WELCOME to... Mr Bartraw's Gr. 4 / 5 class blog! 

Hello All,

This is an official welcome to students and parents.

 

It's been another summer of many changes in our world, and now it’s time to start school again! YEAH!  As of now, school will look and feel much like it did last year... wearing masks, washing our hands frequently, practicing social distancing, and so on. I know we can make it as positive as possible by working together to help each other through the good, challenging, and constantly changing times ahead.

 

We will commence the year with positive energy, new and familiar faces, new goals, and new expectations. 

Class Expectations...

~  SAFETY FIRST! This is our top priority. We will be practicing safety protocols every day.

 

Academics...

~ Try your very best every day, regardless of the subject.

~ Be prepared each day with the appropriate learning materials

~  Work is legible, neat, complete, and handed-in on time

~  Work toward a positive "growth-mindset." 

Parents! Please watch this video on "Mindsets!" 

~  Participate in all areas of the curriculum to the best of your ability!

~  Work hard, put in effort, & have fun.

~ Be proud of who you are... don't compare yourself to others.

~ Believe in yourself, in your own abilities, and in what you can accomplish.

     

      ~ Enjoy learning! See you soon!
