Today we reviewed character traits, and how to use text evidence when are identifying them.  We also learned what word roots are.  We talked a bit about the roots cycl, graph, and phon.  We added prefixes and suffixes to those roots to make them into familiar words.

In math we estimated and measured capacity in cups, pints, and quarts.  Tomorrow we will be converting measurements of capacity.

Today we learned about how columns of air can vibrate to make a sound, and about how the length of that air column can determine the pitch of the sound.

In the Tuesday folders should be a few pieces of work from last week.  I sent home last week's reading center work, a test on fractions, and some of the work that we did for measurement of length.  The fractions test was very difficult, so please don't be too alarmed by it.  There is a pink letter explaining more about that in the Tuesday folder as well.
