CLASS UPDATE
Welcome back everybody! I hope you all had a wonderful break. I enjoyed rest, family, celebrations, Lake Tahoe and band performances. I wanted to thank all of you who donated to my class gift to Bittersweet Bistro and Aptos Guitar. We went to breakfast twice over the break and I got strings for my bass at Aptos Guitar. The gift cards, treats and Corralitos Market certificate were put to good use, indeed. Here is a brief overview of our learning this week in Room 12:
Reading-Our 5th grade RTI groups have started reading The Fighting Ground, a book about the American Revolution and a young boy who fights for the Continental Army. This week our reading skill is sequence of events.
Mindsets-I will be teaching about the power of having a "growth mindset". Parents are welcome to watch the Ted Talk we will watch together at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN34FNbOKXc
This is a wonderful springboard for discussions at home and will certainly illuminate our parenting/coaching and teaching styles!
Math-We are reviewing fractions and playing math games this week to reinforce concepts previously taught in Common Core Math. Here is a math support link for parents:

MLK - This week and next week we are watching the "I have a Dream" and "Mountaintop" speech and discussing this amazing man and how he transformed this country.
Writing-We will be writing and discussing our New Year's Resolutions.
At home students will continue to work on the Heritage Project. I will be sharing a model of a written project and Powerpoint Portion along with all of the parts of the project using the Document Camera. Parents are welcome to come by and check out these to help support your child at home.
See you at the school where kind hearts and open minds rule.
Mr. Sweet
