Dear Mr. Richardson,
I wanted to say thank you for all your fun teaching about tigers at the zoo summer camp. The two-week-old cubs were very cute to watch. lt was a bit sad to learn that the cubs are surrounded by possible dangerous attacks from leopards, pythons, and crocodiles in the wild. lt was also surprising that a big tiger can eat about 100 pounds of meat in one sitting. I can't wait to come back to the camp next summer. See you next year!
Sincerely,
Robin Lee

My class learned about solids today, and it was so much fun! Solids are things that have their own shape. My building blocks are examples of solids. I can build so many different things with my blocks.
Yesterday, I built a school out of blocks. It was a big project, but I worked hard and made sure to make it look just like a real school. When I was done playing with my block school, I took it apart and put the blocks away in their cardboard box. I keep all my blocks in that box, so it's easy to find and use them again.
Today, I dumped out the blocks and started building a house. My brother Asante walked into the room while I was making my house. He asked me if he could play, too. I said okay, if he would build something different from what I was making. So my brother made a doghouse and a supermarket.
When we finished our projects, we played with them for a while. Then we knocked the blocks down and built a train together. All aboard!
According to the passage, what are solids defined as?
What did the girl do after completing the block school?
What condition did the girl set to let her brother play with her blocks?
What didn't the girl build with the blocks?

What animals see
Scientists think that many - perhaps most - animals cannot see colours. “The world is black and white to them."
To find out if dogs could see colours, scientists gave dogs food every time they played a certain piece of music. “The dogs got ready to eat only when they heard this piece of music. They did not get ready to eat when they heard other pieces of music.“
Then the scientists gave the dogs food every time they showed them a certain colour. The dogs got ready to eat when they saw this colour. The scientists then showed the dogs another colour. Again the dogs got ready to eat. The colours were all the same to them.
Colours are not all the same to monkeys, however. For example, if we put food in a red box, and do this every day, a monkey will always go to the red box to get the food. If we then put food in a blue box, the monkey won't go to it.
(Adapted from New century readings)
All colours are the same to _____.

People usually sing because they like music or because they feel happy. They express their happiness by singing. When a bird sings, however, its song usually means much more than that. Birds have many reasons for singing. They sing to give information. Their songs are their language. The most beautiful songs are sung by male birds. They sing when they want to attract a female bird. It is their way of saying that they are looking for a wife. Birds also sing to tell other birds to keep away. To a bird, its tree or even a tree branch is his home. It does not want strangers to come near it, so it sings to warn them. If a bird cannot sing well, he usually has some other means of giving important information. Some birds dance, spread out their tails or make others sing. A male bird has an unusual way of finding a wife. It builds a small garden of shells and flowers.
What does a bird warn others when it sings?
What do most birds usually do unless they can sing well?
