Hey, Russ. Are there any articles about the history of Nebraska? I live in Nebraska and I mostly stay in the city. If not, can you make one? One about the landforms would be okay too. Thanks!
Livia

Hey, Livia. News-O-Matic has several articles about Nebraska. Some of them you could check out are "Look Back on the Kansas–Nebraska Act," "Nebraska Farms: First in the Nation!" and "Nebraska Turns 150!" You can find more by using Search. Still, I'll keep my eyes out for any more stories about Nebraska, its history, and its landforms.

Hi, Russ! My name is Maya and I am in 4th grade. I am so sad that 4th grade is about to end. My teacher is so nice, and in my opinion, she is the best 4th grade teacher ever.
Maya

Hi, Maya! I am so happy to hear that you love your teacher! And I'm sure your teacher would appreciate hearing it as well. It's ok to be sad about leaving 4th grade, especially if you have had such a great time. Still, there are more good times ahead of you! A new school year means more friends to make, people to meet, and topics to learn about! I hope you have a wonderful 5th grade. 😊

Hi, I am Valeska. Can you give me facts about Frida Kahlo?
Valeska

Sure thing, Valeska! Kahlo was born in Mexico City, Mexico, in 1907. She got a disease called polio when she was just 6 years old. That made her right leg much thinner than her left. Kahlo walked with a limp because of this. She started painting in 1925. One of her works is called “Self-Portrait in a Velvet Dress.” It is one of the first of many self-portraits that Kahlo would create in her life. These paintings of herself are still her most famous works today! 🖌️
Russ

Hi! I saw the Iran and US article the other day. I was wanting that. Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

Hey, Russ. Can you tell me something about gymnastics?
Emmelia

Hey, Emmelia. Did you know that gymnastics events have taken place at every Summer Olympic Games since the modern Olympics began in 1896? For 32 years, only men were allowed to compete. But beginning in 1928, women were also allowed to compete in artistic gymnastics events.
Russ

Hi, Russ! I previously wrote to you about how I was going to Switzerland and I wanted to know if there was going to be a ton of cows. I went over spring break and there definitely are a lot of cows! Do you know what they eat to stay alive out there in the cold Swiss Alps?
Sybil

Hi, Sybil. I hope you had a fun time in Switzerland! Cows in Switzerland spend the warm summer months in the highlands, where they munch on grass. It's not too cold there during that time. Then, during the winter when it gets colder, people bring the cows out of the highlands and down to farms where they can eat hay. 🐄
Russ

Hello, Russ. How come space does not have gravity?
Layla

Hello, Layla. That's a good question. There actually is gravity in space! Gravity is the force with which every object pulls every other object toward it. Large objects, like planets, have much more gravitational pull. As astronauts and spacecraft move farther away from a planet, the force is not as strong.
Russ

Hi. I am Kira. Are red pandas and seals nice and good pets?
Kira

Hi, Kira! Red pandas and seals are not good animals for pets. They are wild animals that are happiest in their natural habitats in the wild or at a zoo where experts can make sure all their needs are met. Animals like red pandas and seals need the right foods, activities, and environments to be happy and healthy. They can't get those as pets. 🦭

Russ

Hi, Russ. I'm going to present to my class on Canva and I'm scared to show people.
Bizen

Hi, Bizen. It is totally normal to be nervous to show people something you've made. Many people are scared of talking in front of a group. One tip to boost your confidence is to practice! The more you know your presentation the more comfortable you'll be. Remember to also take steady breaths. That can calm you. Here's another thing to remember: You've got this! 😁
Russ

Hey, Russ. I’m really interested in the Moon now. If you could write some more about the Moon then I would be really happy. Thank you, Russ. Sincerely,

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! ⚾️

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?

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! 🦘🐘
