Hi, Russ. I love all of the articles you make every week. They are very cool and I am learning more every day. I just wanted to say thank you and God bless you.

Thank you for sending me such an encouraging message, Cooper! To hear that you enjoy the articles and that you're learning is the BEST news to me!

Hi, Russ. My name is James and I loved Carter's review on the wild robot. I would like to learn how to make my own reviews!
James
Nice to meet you, James! I think it's great that you want to share your opinions! I'd recommend writing down all the things you liked and disliked about the movie. Then, write about how you felt when you saw the film and whether you think other people should see it, too! ✍️

Do you know anything about Nigeria?
Pena
I know a few things about Nigeria! That country is on the coast of the Africa along an area called the Gulf of Guinea. There is a very tall natural rock structure outside of Nigeria's capital called the Zuma Rock. A picture of that rock is on some money in Nigeria! 🇳🇬

Hi, Russ. do you have articles about baseball or any sport?
Cooper
Hi, Cooper! We write articles about sports all the time! We did an article about baseball player Shohei Ohtani recently. It's called "Ohtani: The Greatest Game Ever?" Are there any teams or players you'd like to read more about? ⚾

Hi, Russ! I love News-O-Matic so so so so SO much. I'm half Filipino so I really want to know more about the Philippines (don't know if I spelt that correctly) and I can't seem to really find many books. But if you have any articles on the Philippines that would be AMAZING! Thank you, Russ, for the amazing articles and stories! have a good day!
Navarro
Thanks for sharing the love, Navarro! It's so cool that you want to know more about the Philippines. You can try typing that word into News-O-Matic's search to find articles about the country. You might also be interested in learning some history in this article, "A Day for Freedom in the Philippines." 🇵🇭

Hi, Russ. I'm Emmy. I just read the Wild Robot report and it was so good. My school is going to see the movie in theaters on Halloween. I'm so excited. We are reading the book and the report/review made even more excited. I'm so thankful for this website. It is so fun and always brightens my day. Thank you so much for this website. Thank you!
Emmalyn
Thank you so much for your kind words, Emmalyn! I loved reading your message. And I think it's so cool that you enjoyed that article and that it made you more excited for the activities you're doing at school! Maybe you should write a review of the movie or the book when you finish it. 😁

Hi, Russ. Does News-O-Matic have articles about Hurricane Helene?
Ishita
We do, Ishita! If you want to learn more about Hurricane Helene, try typing "Hurricane Helene Hits the Southeast" into the Search. We also did another story about the hurricane. It's called "Biden Visits After Hurricane Helene."
Russell Kahn
Why did we start Hispanic Heritage Month?
Ahria
Great question, Ahria! Hispanic Heritage Month honors the work of the millions of Hispanic people that live in the United States today! If you want to learn more about the event's history, I'd recommend checking out the article "Hispanic Heritage Month 2024."

Hey, Russ. What is geography?
Eric
Geography is the study of places on Earth, Eric! A geographer might take a closer look at some of Earth's features, including its mountains, canyons, and rivers. They can also use their special skills to help make maps of our world! 🌎
Russell Kahn
Hi my name is Navya. I am in Maryland. Why are there so many more lanternfly bugs than before?
Navya
Nice to meet you, Navya. The spotted lanternfly is an invasive species from Asia. Each female can lay up to 50 eggs at once. So, that results in a LOT of spotted lanternflies!
Russell Kahn
Hi, Russ. I’m Didem from Turkey. I have a budgie and I wonder if you have news about them? Thanks! 🐦
Didem
What a cool pet, Didem! It looks like News-O-Matic doesn't have any articles about those birds yet. 🤔 I'll pay close attention for any budgie news! 🐦🐤
Russell Kahn
Hi, Russ. My name is Penelope. Do you read everyone's texts?
Penelope
Hi, Penelope. YES, I do read all the messages that readers send to me! I can't answer all of them, but I promise I read each one.
Russell Kahn
Hola! I was wondering if you could tell me a couple of Spanish words and their meanings. My name is Sam. I know hola means hi in Spanish and I’m looking forward to learning how to speak Spanish! I’ll talk to you again soon, Russ. Bye!
Sam
I think it's great that you're learning a new language, Sam! I hope you keep working at it! Here are a few Spanish phrases that might help you out in the meantime! "¿Cómo estás?" means "how are you?" "Me llamo Sam" is "my name is Sam.' And "quiero tacos" means "I want tacos!"
Russell Kahn
Do you sometimes get bored with doing your articles?
Shawn
Not at all, Shawn! Writing stories is a great way for me to learn about what's happening in the world, too! Each day is a chance to learn something brand new! ✍️
Russell Kahn
Hi. My name is Elizabeth, and I want to learn more about cats. I think cats are interesting creatures and I think we could use more facts!
Elizabeth
Thanks for letting me know, Elizabeth! I'm a fan of cats, too! I'll be sure to keep an eye out for any PAW-some stories about our favorite feline friends! 🐱
Russell Kahn
Hi, Russ. I liked the Appalachian Trail article, and it's very cool how just 5 days after she finished the hurricane happened.
Linnea
I'm glad you enjoyed reading that article, Linnea. And you're right; Tara Dower finished her trip just before Hurricane Helene hit the United States. The hurricane damaged areas of the Appalachian Trail, so she probably wouldn't have been able to finish her record if she had been trekking during that time.
Russell Kahn
Hey, Russ! Thanks for doing a preview about the Wild Robot! As soon I saw the robot Roz, I clicked on it. Then I couldn't stop watching Carter's review.
Rosely
Hey, Rosely! We love to share the thoughts and opinions of kids on News-O-Matic! It makes me happy that you liked reading the article so much. Have you ever written a review about a movie you've watched?
Russell Kahn
Hi, I am Aditi. I want to read more about animals. Do you think you can write about animals?
