February 1, 2010

Word of the day: fragile

Congratulations to Braeden who (again!) earned immunity on today's spelling challenge!

Reminders:
1. Practise the times tables!
2. Since school will be dismissed for the week this Wednesday at noon (to allow teachers to attend the teachers' convention in Edmonton), the spelling test will be Wednesday this week and the spelling homework is due tomorrow.
3. The monthly newsletter and a note regarding next week's dance is coming home today.


The Canadian Olympic Women's team is in town for the week - practising at the arena. They have a practise today from 3:30-5:00. They'll be playing an exhibition game vs Hinton at 6pm on Wednesday. Admission to the game is $5.00. Children under 12 are free. Proceeds go to support the Jasper Minor Sports Player Assistance Fund.

Head Scratcher of the day: A horse is tied to a 5 metre long rope in front of an old barn. Seven metres behing the horse is a bale of hay. Without breaking the rope, the horse is able to reach the hay. How is this possible?
