Hi Russ I’m a big fan of the MLB! My favorite team is the Chicago cubs! Especially after Pete-Crow Armstrong got his contract extended to $115million, and Nico Hoerner getting his contract extended as well as he’s getting payed $105 million! My favorite player of all time is Ryne Sandburg AKA the Rhyno! It was a pleasure writing to you, and talking about the MLB!
Jameson
I am a huge baseball fan too, Jameson! And I grew up watching Ryne Sandburg play for the Cubs. He was so great! I hope your Cubs have a great season in 2026! ⚾️

Mariana the #1 bird lover
I love all those emojis, Mariana! I also love birds. We have a couple of very special bird stories coming up. One is about a type of bird called a curlew. What species is your favorite?
Russ
Hey, Russ! My name is Joeley, and I LOVE coasters. I was wondering if you could make an article about a theme park called Cedar Point in Ohio so I could read it! Also, I love your articles thank you! (If you read this.)
Joeley
Hey, Joeley. I think coaster are super cool too! Have you read News-O-Matic's article about Cedar Fair — it's the company that owns Cedar Point. The article is called "Parks Partner Up!" You should check it out! And, I'll look out for news stories specifically about Cedar Point. 🎢 Thanks for sharing the love!
Russ
Hey, Russ. How long does a apple tree grow and what season should I plant one in my backyard?
Raven
Apple trees usually take 5–10 years to grow from a seed to a tree that will bear fruit. Some people disagree when the best time to plant an apple tree is. Some say you should plant in the fall. Many people seem to think spring is the best time. 🍎
Russ
Hi, Russ. Can you tell me about the Triassic times?
Aden
Hi, Aden. The Triassic Period is a time about 252-201 million years ago. It is the first part of a longer period of time called the Mesozoic Era. That period is sometimes called the "Age of Reptiles" because many kinds of reptiles (such as dinosaurs) developed and covered the Earth during that time.
Russ
Hi, Russ! My name is Maya, and over my spring break I went to Paul Revere's house! It was so cool. And there was a lot of stuff there that we do not have. I loved it! Bye, Russ!
Maya
Hi, Maya! That sounds like a super fun trip! Getting to learn about history by exploring these places in person is very cool.
Russ
What are the names of the people on the space ship?
TRESstudent
There are four astronauts on the Orion spacecraft as part of Artemis II. They are Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen.
Russ
Hey, Russ. What do kangaroos eat and what do elephants eat?
Alexianna
Kangaroos and elephants are both herbivores, Alexianna. That means they don't eat meat. Kangaroos often eat grass, leaves, and bushes. Elephants eat grasses and bushes too. They also eat fruits, twigs, roots, and tree bark! 🦘🐘

Russ
Hey, Russ! It was a really good idea to name the mission to the Moon Artemis 2, because Artemis is the Greek goddess of the Moon! Don't you think?
Imogen
I totally agree, Imogen! It was a really cool choice to name the mission Artemis. Did you know that past NASA missions to the Moon had the name Apollo? In Greek mythology, Apollo is the twin brother of Artemis. Apollo is the god of the Sun. 🌝🌞

Hey, Russ! I was wondering if they make any other kinds of touchscreen nails or if it’s just the red ones I saw on the article. Like, can you choose what design you want? Just wondering. Thanks! 😊
Cecilia
Cool question, Cecilia! It sounds like Manasi Desai is trying to make a clear nail polish. So, you could put it over red nails, or you could add it on top of any designs you like. 💅
