Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Greetings Buggys!

Greetings Buggys!

I get to skip school on Wednesday! Only me. 'Cause Thursday is Thanksgiving! I'll name two or three things I'm thankful for:

#1. Cricket Mag.

#2. Everybuggy who gets Cricket

#3. THIS AWESOME WEB SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 But then again, isn't eveyone who gets Cricket? Well, if you are wondering, I am thankful for other things that don't relate to Cricket. *Makes a deep sigh* This year, for the party I'm going to, there won't be a chocolate fountin! That's no fun. At each party, there are about 2, 3, 4, or, 5 dogs. In the basemint, there is a ping-pong table, 1,000,000,000,000 video games, (I like about 5 of them), and 3 guestrooms, with 2 bathrooms for each guestroom. And then, there are 2 other floors! And, to top it of, more than 70 guests! (Probably about 100 something) The owner of the house, (My cousin) is an exellent cook. She makes the best sweet potatos with marshmellows! OMG! My fingers are falling off! I need to stop typing! I'm sining off, buggys!

I'm thankful for wonderful parents, adorable pets, living in a safe country (let's hope these next four years are, too....), realitivly good health, living in a Christian family, and so many more that I just can't think of! :):):):)

Paige,

I don't really care if I spell anything wrong. After all, I am only 8!

Trust me, I spell words wrong all of the time (example, I just typed "wrods", when I meant "words").  Really, without spellcheck on the computer, I'm a terrible speller!!!!

By the way, another thing I'm thankful for (even though it's past Thanksgving) is that I have a good education. (In a way, did I just say I like school?!) I hope I didn't! *Crosses fingers, toes, and arms* I'm also thankful for being Jewish. In our class, we had to right down a tradition we celebrate, who we share the tradition wiith, when we celebrate it, and more. Then, below, we had to list 2 or more other traditions you'd like to learn about. (Lucky we didn't have to write why we picked those)

The next day, in class, we had to share, what we wrote. More than half the class, picked Hannukah for what they wanted to learn about. I was ao excited. My teacher is Jewish, too. She said Alexandra, Emily, Jesse, (for Passover) and I could pick 2 people at a time to teach. But she never said when we could do it. But, anyways, I'm soo excited to teach Harriet and J.C.!

PS: If any of you buggys need or want info on Jewish holidays, just call me! I'd be happy to help!

That's cool! :):) My aunt is Jewish.  What is Hannukah about, anyway?  I want to make her a card (I'm famous for my cards!), but I need to know about it. :):) Do you still celebrate Christmas?  My aunt does, but mostly because she doesn't want to make her son feel sad. :):):) Her son has a lot of energy.  That was really random, but oh well!  Think of the average energy of a nine-year-old, then multiply it by 100: You have Scott!

I don't celebrate Christmas at all. Is it fun?

submitted by Elena B., age 8, DC

Yes!  It's a blast!  But I suppose that Hannakuh is fun, too, isn't it?

Yeah! It's totally AWESOME!!!!

PS: I'm having a Hanukkah party, I'm inviting my teacher also! After all, she is Jewish.

PPS: Hanukkah is about celebrating light, when the light on the menorah in Jerusalem lasted 8 days, with only one, *How should I say this?* container (I guess) of gas. I hope you understand!

Either December 20th, or December 21st. It depends on the moon. Weird.

Ok, it's kind of strange that we're the only ones really writing (or should I say typing? Oh, geez! Another thing spelled wrong! I think it is) about anything, really. Don't you think? Ok, I have a plan:

You, Paige, can be my spell check person! You can tell me if anything I type is spelled wong! (That'll be a lot of corrections. Did I spell that right?) So, do you like the idea? It's ok if you don't like it. I think it's a lousy idea. Kind of. Did I spll it right? Well, I don't think it's that bad. Do you?

Oh, yeah!  The Gorham school system (I think the rest of Maine, too.  Am I right, Mainers?????) gets Monday-Friday off. ;)

Same with Orange County! The FL Orange County, not the California one. The annoying thing is, my LA teacher assigned a BUNCH of HW over break. Over BREAK! I am so mad.........Yell
