I interviewed two of them: Ms. Novak, and Ms. Dalleska. Q: What is your child’s name? Ms. Novak: Sarah Faith Ms. Dalleska: Madison Sophia Q: Why did you choose that name for your child? Ms. Novak: Sarah is the name of Mr. Novak’s grandmother, and Faith is the name of mine. Ms. Dalleska: It’s a very strong name, but it is still pretty. Q: How does it feel to be a mother? Ms. Novak: I don’t think it’s real yet: I keep waiting for Sarah’s mom to come pick her up. Ms. Dalleska: It’s really exciting, and feels like a huge important job, as well as a present. Q: How has your life changed at all since you had your baby, and why? Ms. Novak: Now I worry all the time about Sarah, I’m afraid she’ll hurt herself or something. Ms. Dalleska: I try to be as perfect as I can because I feel like her role model. Q: How has your child changed? Ms. Novak: Sarah makes facial expressions, stays awake for longer, and has a stronger immune system. Ms. Dalleska: Madison has one tooth, and she is much stronger. She was in intensive care, and now she crawls all over the house and tries to eat the cat! Madison drives to school! Where is Your Favorite Place to go?

M L B T e a m s w o r d s e a r c h Sundance Film Festival Skiing isn’t the only thing you can do in Park City! Park City is teeming with life when Sundance is going on! Sundance is a film festival where independent film companies make films. They display these films at multiple places in Park City. These films can range from comedy to romance to horror. One film that sold out was The Wave. The Wave is about a class that made a group called the Wave. As the Wave gets stronger, so do the people’s feelings. But as it gets too strong, people start to get hurt. This video was rated 3 out of 5 stars at Sundance and the film is available at the Central School LIbrary. Another great film at Sundance was a short film called Mishaps. It is a big collection of movie bloopers from many movies. As the movie progresses, the bloopers get even funnier. Do you like the sound of these films? If you go see a movie, you might see a celebrity, but you will also see nothing in your wallet! Going to Sundance is very pricey. The airfare during Sundance can be up to $1000. Also, Sundance tickets cost around $40 EACH! If you decide to go or not to go, you made a good choice because Sundance is a tradeoff between money and fun! Are You A Class-Act or A Class-Clown? 1. IT’S THE FIRST DAY OF MIDDLE SCHOOL.

Just to look at these creepy teeth makes you want to know what he does. I think that you should see it because it has lots of scary things. If you like scary movies, see JAWS 1, 2, 3, and 4! Echidnas Echidnas are mammals that lay eggs. They have fur and spikes on their back. It is like an ant eater and has a very long tongue. They use their tongues to catch insects and eat them. The echidna never grows very large. Echidnas are not very well known, but are common in Australia. Some people might know that there is an echidna in a video game series called Sonic the Hedgehog. His name in the games is Knuckles. More clues on the next page I think this comic strip is funny because there is only one short sentence. It makes Calvin (the boy) stop and think about the threat. The tiger’s name is Hobbes. Hobbes is a stuffed animal who is Calvin’s imaginary friend. This comic was written and illustrated by Bill Watterson.
