By: Aditya https://padlet.com/bharoff/n0hvi6s7i1o9tafx/wish/1182331493 Today our teacher has posted a crazy riddle for us to figure out. A man has to get a chicken, fox, and a sack of corn to the other side of the river. The problems are the boat can only carry two people at a time. So, if he took the corn, the fox will eat the chicken. If you take the fox, the chicken will eat the corn. How do you take all of them to the other side? "This means a lot to me." said Mrs. Haroff. This is a challenge. Let's see if you can figure it out. Go to the Bellringer section and type the answer if you know it.]]> 2021-02-09 14:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bharoff/n0hvi6s7i1o9tafx/wish/1182331493 Today's bellringer. By: Rithin Venkatesan. https://padlet.com/bharoff/n0hvi6s7i1o9tafx/wish/1182446485 Today's bellringer is great my answer was The riddle says that A man has to get a sack of corn, a chicken, a fox across a river. He has a rowboat, but it can only carry him and one other thing. If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and then corn are left together the chicken will eat the corn. How does he do it? He carries the Fox and the sack of Corn across the river and then he comes back and then takes the Chicken across.  My reasoning is that the Fox will not eat the corn so if you put them on the other side and they come back you get the chicken and take it to the other side everything is still there. So that is the answer to the riddle. The riddle says that A man has to get a sack of corn, a chicken, a fox across a river. He has a rowboat, but it can only carry him and one other thing. If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and then corn are left together the chicken will eat the corn. How does he do it? You better have yours ready by today! Everybody loves seeing people people answer even though if it is wrong.

We always talk about today bellringer today assignment. Lets talk about the Word Stem Quizzes. You have to study the Greek stems and then do the quizzes. It will help you out a lot because if you don't understand a word but if it had a greek stem root like sub which means under so like john needed to submerge you can know it means going under. SO it can help you out like in the SC ready test or later in life so study the greek stems and so the quizzes . If you need the study guide look below right now or press the picture you see below.

How do you know you reached a 1,000,000 words? Well, there is a website called word counter, and that will tell you how many words a book has. You can go and try to read as many books as you can. Try your best! Where can you jot down your progress? Well, Mrs. Haroff made a document for all of us to keep track on our million word. Here is the document.
