One man’s backpack is open and he’s alive. Another man’s backpack is closed and he’s dead. What is in the closed man’s backpack?

 

A parachute

 

A man lives on the 19th floor. When he goes up in the elevator he only goes to level 10 and walks the rest of the way but when he goes down he can take the elevator all the way down. Why?

 

He’s too small to reach the 19th floor button.

 

A man lived in a circle house. His wife died and there were three suspects. They were the butler, the cook and the maid. The butler was greeting the guests, the cook was cooking and the maid was cleaning the corners.  Who was lying? Who did it?

 

The maid (How can a maid clean the corners in a round house?)

Girls Travel Basketball
By: Jackie K. and Juliana C.

During the winter Greenacres has always had Rec basketball games and practices. We have always had Rec basketball but why not travel people wondered. This question was not answered until this winter when a mother with a kid in fourth grade decided to make a travel team this year. Greenacres has formed a fourth grade travel basketball team. We are practicing hard and trying our best. So far we have played lots of games but have lost all of them, but we are still working hard. We have sports games at House Of Sports. There are about 14 girls on our team. There are five teams we can play. Our team will keep trying and keep on having a great time at our basketball games!
