Sweaty in Social Studies
Dear Sweaty in Social Studies,
There’s nothing wrong about
sweating. To prevent it, you should
wear extra deodorant or baby power. If
that does not work, then you should
wear a shirt under your gym shirt so
when you are done with gym, you can
switch the undershirt with another one.
Always here to help,
Pablo

A Visit From Peter Howe
A Doggy Treat
marathons. To practice he ran around
Central Park once a day. Everyday
when he ran around the park he would
see a pack of wild dogs looking for
food.
One day Peter decided to take
one of the dogs home. That dog was
Roo. The reason Peter gave Roo that
name was because once he got home,
he bounced all over the place just like
Roo in Winnie the Pooh. In the book
Waggit’s Tale, Waggit was named after
Peter’s friend’s dog. He thought that
Peter Howe was a great name. Peter likes to incor-
porate his dogs and their personalities
into his books.
