Friday

Students took reading and spelling tests this morning. Then we reviewed what the different genres are in our reading. During math we learned how to round five digit numbers. Some students are still struggling with this so it would be helpful if you could review it. One way we do this is to took at the place value we are rounding to. Then move to the right, to the digit in the next lowest place value. If it is five or more, we round the previous number up. If it is less than five we leave the previous digits alone. Then all the numbers following change magically to zeros.

In the afternoon we watched a short video about the book we will be studying next. We will be reading a short excerpt from the book, Sarah, Plain and Tall.

Next Wednesday we have school pictures.
