I play flute in band! This is something you might not have known about me. But I am here to tell you why band is fun! The most fun thing is you get to play amazing pieces of music you otherwise never hear about. One example is a song called Rock Around the Clock. It is an amazing song, but if I wasn’t in band I never would have heard it. That is the most fun thing about band!

I love math! This will be about what I learned this week. Do you like math?

This week in math I learned how to estimate with decimals. There are a few different ways. My favorite is front-end estimation. So let’s say that the problem was 12.63 + 13.45 + 4.9. What you do first is take the front number(s), in this case 12, 13, and 4, and then add them together. This answer is 29. This number is minimum. Now you need to add estimate the decimals. In this case that would be 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5. This equals to 1.5. Now you add the first number to the second number. In this case that would be 29 + 1.5. The answer would 30.5. Now you round that number to the nearest whole number. So the answer for THIS answer is 31. So by using this process you can say that the answer would somewhere between 29 and 31. That is how this process works.

This is a rock cycle that we did for science class. https://voicethread.com/new/share/6106259/
