What's Happening in Room 12?!
Where to start? Well, in reading we are continuing our fantastic books: By the Great Horn Spoon and My Brother Sam is Dead.
We are doing a fun journal going along with the Gold Rush in 4th and the Revolution in 5th grade. We will be taking b/w photos and making a genuine-looking, historical journal. These journals incorporate many of the new things that we have learned in these history units. In HM Math we are working from Chapter 8 and we are focusing on Evaluating Algabraic Expressions in 4th grade and in 5th we are reviewing adding/subtracting mixed numbers with different denominators. In Social Studies we are reviewing CA becoming a state in 4th and the Revolution in 5th to get ready for the tests on Wednesday. The Study Guide is posted on this blog on the top right hand side.
During our time in the Computer Lab we are putting together our American Hero Projects using Power Point. In addition, in Art we are finishing our portraits of the Heroes. Finally, the Tunes we created last week will be converted to a song with their recorded voice using Garage Band and then converted to an Itunes file.
Our final day to take a quiz in Accelerated Reader is on MONDAY MARCH 1st.

See you at school!
Mr. Sweet

Room 12 Parents,
Hopefully you all received my phone message last night. Here are the drivers for the Ano Nuevo Field Trip this Thursday morning when we leave at 8:15 a.m. I tried to choose parents who have not driven yet. If you are not on the list and wanted to come along as a chaperone, feel free to show up on Thursday morning.

As I stated in the message, please wear very warm clothes...no shorts. Prepare for rain and heavy winds and if you have raincoats, make sure your child wears them because we can not bring umbrellas.
It is a very long walk so make sure to pack a big lunch w/water/juice.
