A Name is Born

I know this all looks weird. You’re probably thinking right now about “What happened to the Brooklyn News? Well, calm down. I changed the title because, well, this stuff isn’t really related to Brooklyn. You know what I mean? Also, I found out I could do that really cool masthead (see the print version), so I just wanted to. Also, there is some new things in this edition, because of your amazing suggestions.

Fun weather gone

Almost everybody likes the snow. I’m one of those people, so I was a bit disappointed when I saw I had no snow at my upstate house. Most of you have been there. It gets a lot of snow in the winter. But now look! Just grass, but that is nice too. Also, I think the Emma window frame is a lot less boring🤭.

Day Trip for Kids

Have A Picnic At Central Park! You can ask a grownup to take you to Central Park,but remember to pack food and drink. You can visit the zoo, feed the birds, and you can feed turtles, and that would definitely be a great place to play hide-and-seek! Also, I recommend you bring a frisbee so you could throw it around. Their phone number is (212)-310-6600. You can ride the Central Park Carousel, which is about a 10 minute walk away from the zoo.

Travel

I went to Florida on the weekend of March 7-8 and the airplane ride was very boring. Here are a few things you can do to make your trip entertaining

  1. Download books on your phone or iPad on either Libby or Kindle

  2. If you are on Delta, there is a WiFi that you can use

  3. Take a nap

  4. Watch a movie (Aladdin, Cinderella might be good for kids and you can also do Girls Will Be Girls and Slow Horses for grownups) 

  5. Look at a map

I’m in Florida because my grandma lives there. When you go places, do you go there to visit friends and family, or just because it maybe has nice weather and there is a famous building there, like Mt. Rushmore or The Eiffel Tower? 

The Big Debate!

Death Valley in California or Dome Fuji Ridge in Antarctica?

(Basically warm or cold but I wanted to make it more interesting, you know?)
