Word of the day: cherish

Congratulations to Adrian for blazing the trail in multiplication facts! (Adrian got his 5 and 7 times tables test completed with perfection today - great stuff!) Everyone else is improving every day - soon the class will be jam-packed with genius!

Reminders:
1. Practise times tables.
2. Coins for Haiti donations will be gratefully accepted!
3. Math problem sheet - due tomorrow
4. Valentine's Day note - We'll have a Valentine party/exchange during the latter part of this Friday afternoon. The note lists the names of all the students in the class. Anyone who brings Valentines should bring one for everyone on the list. This helps avoid hard feelings. As well, if anyone would like to send a snack for the party, that would be great.

Head Scratcher: See if you can figure out what is unusual about the following paragraph.

How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing was wrong with it at all; and in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. Not doubt if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. I don't know. Now, go to work and try your luck.
