Dear Podkinz, I’m really excited about school because there are so many things in school that will help me achive my goal of becoming a Zoologist when I grow up! A Zoologist is a person who studys animals!! I love to test my knowledge of animals and lot’s of different things at Quizzy’s corner in Webkinz World and It’s really fun! Thanks to everyone who works at kinz I feel like my dream will come true :)
You want to be a Zoologist, playnowpuppy? That’s cool! I want to be a theologian, famous singer/ballerina, and a chef when I grow up! (probably not at the same time though!)
Thanks your dream jobs sound awesome!
I’m excited for school cause’ it’ll be my first time going. ( Lol, don’t worry, i’m not five. ) I’ve been homeschooled since I was four so it’ll be my first time going to public school. I’m going to sixth grade. I’m excited to make friends and see what school is like.
I hope you are not disappointed…just remember to stand up for what you believe in and don’t let bullies intimidate you into doing things you know you shouldn’t do! And stand up for people in the right, no matter how scary it may seem! :) I learn about doing that when homeschooling, (because i am home schooled) and I have had to do it before, out of school! But I was strengthened by my mother. I was taught by her, she is my role model. She is a wonderful woman. She teaches me to stand up for what I believe in, don’t just stand by and watch while people suffer, even if it’s just another kid being a bully. DO something about it. But don’t go overboard. Only ever fight to defend yourself, try not to START a violent fight though. But be strong. And good luck for the new school year! Congratulations, and I hope you make many good, trustworthy friends and that you all are good influences on each other! :)
I suggest u find a group of friends that are kind and will support not people who talk about others behind their back, are bossy or mean to u, even if they are considered “popular” there are many nice people in a public school tho, and even a teacher can make your time there really fun!
The playlist on Youtube is out of order :P It plays backwards. And chance that this can be fixed?
That’s funny!
Ha ha! LOl :o
Hi Gennelle! At first I was pretty nervous about school starting because I’m going into 8th grade this year, but now I’m pretty excited! I’m home schooled so along with my classes at home I’m also going to be in a science co-op, a Spanish class, and a writing class! I’m also really looking forward to running for president in pioneer club in 4-H which is a home schooling club that’s really fun! I was Vice President twice before so I hope I can be President this year!
I do 4-H too! PLus I take an online poetry and sience class too!
For some reason, when it’s the school year, I am excited for summer vacation. When it is summer vacation, I excited for school!
OMG! I play the clarinet too.
Those goldfish are living the life! I saw the picture in comments for the last episode :)
I saw it too, playnowpuppy! I read and responded to that comment! :)

I’m excited about this new school year because I can’t wait to see my friends again! :) I also can’t wait to see what is going to happen in the upcoming months of this year. In Webkinz World, I am looking forward to having fun with my pets in the awesome Webkinz events! :)
Last year, it was my first year home-schooling. I got to play a lot of extra Webkinz World. :D This year, I will still be home-schooling, but i will go to a new private school as well. They will tell me what to do that week for home-school. I have quite a few friends there though, so I am positive my new school will be fun!
I’am home schooled as well! Being home schooled is great, because my Mom is my Teacher and my siblings are in the same classroom that I am in, hehe! ;)
Yeah I’m home schooled as well! It is awesome!
I agree, playnowpuppy!!! It is awesome to be home schooled! I am as well! :D
I am homeschooled too! :D
It’s so cool to see how many Webkinz players are homeschooled like me!
I’m home schooled too! I’m going to be doing some co-ops this year too though! Are any of you in 4-H pioneer? Even though we probably don’t all live in the same place i’d be cool if we all did 4-H!
It would be cool if we all did. that’s what I meant to say.
I do 4-H! So coo we both do!
oops that’s cool not coo totally didn’t even notice that typo!
