The Eagle Way: The Classroom Expectations of Ms. Arcenas' Grade 4 Class

Inspire. Challenge. Succeed. 

Every Student... Every Heart... Every Mind... In connection to our Grade 4 curriculum update, Ms. Arcenas' class has looked closely at the Eagle Way and how it should look and sound like in our classroom. 


Throughout our Grade 4 learning journey, practicing on a regular basis actions that demonstrate acting safelygiving respectliving responsibly and embracing challenges will inspire our classroom community to soar to success, both as individuals and as a group.

Take the time to review our specific classroom expectations and consider the following see-think-wonder:
  • SEE - In what ways do you see yourself taking action to demonstrate the Eagle Way in our classroom?
  • THINK - What do you think are good strategies to help embrace challenges in your learning?
  • WONDER - I wonder, in what ways are you showing your commitment to the Eagle Way in our classroom? In what ways could I help you stay committed to the Eagle Way?



Who We Are As Readers

Reader's Workshop... Grade 4 began building our reading community by looking closely at our reading identity and making connections to the people, places and memories that have helped shape who we are as readers today.

Ms. Arcenas' Reading Identity

The Girls Who Hated Books... Rewatch the following story, paying close attention to how the character, Meena, grows in her reading identity. 

Consider the following:
  • I wonder, in what ways could you connect to the story?
  • Could you identify specific reading strategies that Meena was practicing to help grow as a reader?
  • What action was Meena taking to grow ideas about the stories and characters she was reading about?
  • In what ways could you practice the actions that Meena was demonstrating to help YOU grow as a reader?


I wonder, what reading strategies was Meena practicing? What makes you say that? Provide evidence.
