Hi Russ, guess what happened? It snowed, A LOT! And the snow was up to my brother's chest. He is not too tall and not too short. He is 4 foot, 3, so it is just crazy and I wanted to share that with you.

Thanks for telling me about the snow where you live. That was one BIG storm! ❄️❄️❄️

Have you seen the Winter Olympics?

I have seen some of the Winter Olympics! But athletes compete for many hours at the Games, so I haven't seen everything. Did you see the Winter Olympics?

Hey, Russ! I was so sad that pennies aren't being made! Well, I guess I have to be! My name is "Penni" after all! How do you feel about it? Love,
Penni
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the penny, Penni! I know a lot of people feel the same way you do. Others think that stopping penny production will save money. I like pennies, but I can see both sides of the argument. 🪙

What is difference between the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics? 🥇
Zoey
Well, the Summer and Winter Olympics are occur at different times of the year (summer and winter). The two games do not take place during the same years either. Also, the two games have different sports. The Summer Olympics has sports like swimming, track and field, boxing, and basketball. The Winter Olympics have sports like skiing, ice skating, curling, and ice hockey!

Hi, Russ. It’s Fia. I was reading the article "96 Years of Knowing Pluto," and I was wondering, how many dwarf planets are there?
Fia
Hi, Fia. No one knows how many dwarf planets are in the universe, but experts have named five dwarf planets in our solar system. They are Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.

HEY, RUSS! The article about the Olympics is so good! What team are you rooting for?
Micah
Hey there, Micah! I'm so glad you liked reading the story! I've got to support Team USA! But honestly? It's just great to see so many talented athletes come from all over to compete! There's no other event that brings the world together quite like the Olympics! 🌎
Russell Kahn
Why are they getting rid of pennies?
Evelyn
That's a popular question, Evelyn! One big reason is that it costs more to make a penny than the penny itself is worth! Making a penny costs nearly four cents — but the coin is only worth one cent! Leaders think putting a pause on pennies will help save money. 💰
Russell Kahn
Hi, Russ! I was wondering if you had any articles about Ilia Malinin. I heard about him in one of the articles and I don't know who he is. Thanks a ton!
Penni
Hey there, Penny! Ilia Malinin is an American figure skater. We don't have any articles about Malinin himself, but he's popped up in a few stories. Before the 2026 Winter Olympics, the athlete had won his last 14 competitions. He was also the figure skating world champion in 2024 and 2025! However, Malinin made some mistakes at the Olympics. He placed eighth place at the men's free skate event. This was a big surprise for fans. Many people thought he would earn the gold medal. But Malinin plans to keep competing in the future. He'll be back on the ice again soon! ⛸️
