Quotes[]
- Zoe: Leanna L. from Winchester, Massachusetts sent us this game. It’s a Water Balloon Toss and take my advice. This is a good outdoor game.
- Alisa: Not Just Playing Around. Written and illustrated by Ashley D. of Easton, Pennsylvania. Hi, I’m Kelly Normwell. I’m in the 6th grade. This year, my school is doing a Shaksperean play called “Romeo and Juliet”. My mom said, “Go for it!” That’s easy for her to say—-she’s not in the 6th grade. So…what do you think I did? I tried out for the play. When I got to the gym, there were 100 kids there! First, I saw Holly Burnett, the head cheerleader. She’s the most popular girl in the school. She started singing like an opera lady with horns. Mr. Burton interrupted and said, “I’m sorry, Holly, this isn’t a musical.” Then I saw Emma Brown. With her long, red hair and freckles, she looked more like Pippi Longstocking than Juliet. Finally, it was my turn. For the first time in my life, I would have been happier babysitting for my baby brother than reciting Shakespeare. I said the lines, “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?” All I could think of was, “Maybe they should try the yellow pages.” (Nobody can find Waldo, either.) At the end of my line, I curtsied. The director shouted, “Bravo, bravo!” (I thought everyone could curtsy?) When I got off the stage, Mr. Burton gave me the part of Juliet. For the next ten days, I rehearsed onstage, on the bus, in the shower and in my sleep! The 11th day was the dress rehearsal. I felt really sorry for Zack Walker—-those tights must have been killing him. I felt like I was gonna be sick…my costume was the ugliest pink dress with yellow flowers and white lace. I even got a pointed hat that matched! On the 12th day, Mom drove me to the school. Opening night made me feel sick…I dressed, practiced my lines, and waited for it to end. Then, because my best friend had said, “If you get sick…we don’t know each other,” I calmed down. I said my lines with expression. Romeo killed himself with his fork from the cafeteria. The audience laughed. I curtsied. Additional auditions for me, are not to be. The end.
- Jared: Today, we’re going to make a papier-mâché bowl. It’s a do sent in by the Boys and Girls Club of Waltham, Massachusetts. it’s a great way to recycle all those use papers you have lying around the house. The ingredients you need to make the papier-mâché bowl are half a cup of flour, 3/4 cup of water, bowl and a spoon, acrylic paint, brushes, a blown-up balloon and a whole lot of creativity.
