Father's Day

Father’s Day is coming up on June 19 on a Sunday. It is celebrated on the third Sunday of June. Father’s Day is a day where you spend time with your father, honor your father, and thank your father for everything he has done. I think Father’s Day is a good day for you to spend time with your dad. Kids also give gifts to their father on Father’s Day. Some of the gifts are a watch, a tie, a cup that says best dad, and more stuff. We interview teachers about father’s day and asked them a few questions. Some of the questions we asked was “Do you agree with the idea of having Father’s Day?” and “Why do you think we have father’s day?” and what do you plan to do for father’s day. - Mariaelena

Osama Bin Laden's Death

Osama Bin Laden was a mass murderer and was the leader of the Al-Quaeda organization. He was the mastermind behind 9/11 that killed hundreds of innocent Americans and took out two buildings. Osama Bin Laden was on FBI’s most wanted list for a long time because of these monstrous activities. It was until May 1st when a small group of Navy SEALs broke into his mansion and shot Osama Bin Laden.
Now that Osama Bin Laden is dead, Al-Quaeda scrambles to find a new leader. The FBI now has more time to look for other people on the FBIs most wanted list. Victims of 9/11 now feel at ease. We are still unsure of the future, but this is a sign of 0
