Roberta’s Valentine: Sweet Pencils
This is my latest addition to the treat bags I’m making my class. They are going to LOVE these! What you need: pencils, ribbon, cardstock, one-hole punch, thin ribbon, beads What you do: For each pencil, cut a piece of ribbon about six inches long. Tie the ribbon around the top of the pencil (right below the eraser part). Make sure it’s secure (tie a knot). On one end of the ribbon, string a few beads. Tie a knot to keep them in place. Cut out hearts from the cardstock (one per pencil). On each heart, write “You’re all write, Valentine!” Punch one hole in each heart. On the other end of the ribbon, thread on the cardstock heart. Add beads to the bottom of the ribbon and tie a knot to keep it all in place.

Roberta’s Craft: Wrapped Valentine Candy Bars
I’m going to take a page out of my friend Alex Tiger’s crafty book and make up some delicious Valentine’s Day Candy Bars. These are super-easy to make, and totally fun to give (and get!). What you need:Miniature chocolate bars (or, if you’re feeling REALLY generous, full-sized ones), construction paper, glue stick, scissors, glitter or stickers What you do: Create a wrapper for each candy bar. You can do this by measuring the bar and cutting paper that will fit around it. Decorate that paper with different colored hearts or a label. Try using colors that look good together – and are ones that you’d see on Valentine’s Day. Using your glue stick, attach the label or hearts. Add stickers or glitter to your wrapper. Write on any messages that you’d like to share. Wrap the wrapper around the chocolate bar and secure it with glue. Give one out to all your friends this Valentine’s Day.

Dacey Bryn, Where Are YOU?
Have you ever gotten to the point in a friendship where you realize that maybe, just maybe, it’s not going very well? I’m at that point with Dacey. I called her again today (that’s the fifth time in two days) and she just isn’t answering her phone. About two hours after I called, she sent me this text message: “C – call you sometime. Stop calling. Very busy! -D” I don’t even know what to say about that! I’m so sad. I thought she was my friend – my true friend. Sure, we don’t see each other very much, but up until recently she always sent me emails and we chatted on the phone a couple times each week. But now? Now I don’t even get the courtesy of her answering my phone calls! Now the emails are short and not very friendly at all! It seems to have started when she began filming her latest movie. Maybe she’s just too big a star to be friends with boring old Cowabelle. I tried talking to Roberta, but she told me to chill out and focus on my other friends for now. … Read more

Millie’s Snow Pig
My friend Molly’s little sister, Millie, wanted to appear in the Newz, so she decided to call me on the phone this morning. She said she had “breaking news” and that if I wanted to be a good reporter I should come over to her place. So I did. And guess what I saw? A cute little snow pig with pink cheeks! Millie made this ice sculpture and then used a plant misting bottle with water colored red with food coloring to add the pink cheeks! She just sprayed on the red water and voila – adorable! I’m not entirely sure this is ‘newsworthy,’ but it definitely is cute!

Salley: Detention Day 4
I can’t believe that Purr-Cilla! She came to detention tonight five minutes late, and then said to Ms. Cowoline “I think I’m going to be sick, my stomach hurts so much.” She DID look a bit pale, but it was hard to say if it was because of sickness or makeup! No matter, Ms. Cowoline looked really worried and told her to go home and feel better. Me? I got to wash all the blackboards in the school! This is where things got interesting. When I was in the grade seven classroom, I looked out the window and saw a whole bunch of kids playing in the school yard. Including Purr-Cilla. She was sliding down the hill and giggling and laughing and she seemed to be feeling absolutely, 100% fine. I threw my washing rag into the bucket of water and stomped down to Ms. Cowoline’s office. I told her what I saw, and Ms. Cowoline looked REALLY angry. She looked out the back door of the school and saw Purr-Cilla for herself. Then she did something strange. She said “Salley, you can go home. And don’t worry about detention tomorrow night.” So I … Read more
