We have been working on understanding rounding in math. I have taught the students a poem to help them remember the steps of rounding. 
Find your number,
Look next door.
4 or less just ignore (leave the underlined number as is)
5 or more add 1 more (add 1 to the underlined number)

Here are some examples to practice:

432,983 round to the nearest 1,000 _______________________

834,531 round to the nearest 10 __________________________
 
234,912 round to the nearest 100 ________________________

Please continue to work on this skill at home! 

Today we talked about empathy, thinking about how someone else is feeling. We read the book, Fly Away Home. Students were asked to find examples in the text where the main character showed empathy for others. We also discussed how we can demonstrate empathy in the classroom. One example that was discussed was how we react when partners are chosen. Ask your child about this conversation, it was a great discussion. We ended the lesson in the computer lab, typing about our experiences with empathy by putting ourselves in someone else's shoes. 

Here is a video we watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgGKgBosXaE&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active
