Riddles

9-4-2008
Hello!!! If you know me or have had me as a teacher before you know that I love riddles. They are fun and educational at the same time. Today I shared my favorite riddle with my 6th grade class: What can you put in a barrel to make it lighter??? A Hole!!!

Garrett gave me a riddle challenge: What gets wetter the more it dries??? A Towel!!! I met the challenge because I was able to come up with the answer. So then he challenged me again: What goes up but never leaves the ground??? I still have not come up with the answer. hmmm

Class.....This is my next riddle for you:

Give me food and I will live; give me water and I will die. What am I???

Excellent job Matthew!! He said that the answer is fire and he was correct!

~Miss Warren~


Well I have been challenged again with a riddle. This time it was by Matthew. He asks: How can you have 10 trees, in 5 rows with 4 trees in a row?? My solution, though I don't know it its correct yet: You have the trees in a star shape. At a point or an intersection of the lines is a tree. Correct??!!

Dear Students,

I am so excited to hear that so many of you are viewing our class blog. If you have any ideas of things that we can add please let me know. I have another riddle challenge for you: What can you catch, but not throw?

Sincerely,

Miss Warren

Excellent job Emilie!! The answer that she told me is correct: A cold!!

Who is the doctor?
