Cats and kittens!
April 29, 2026, by Grace
I loveee cats! Cats are one of my favorite animals, they are very friendly and sweet.
I’m going to foster kittens that are just 4 weeks old and I’ll keep them until about 8weeks because they have to get neutered.
Cats are very fascinating animals that share 95.6% of their DNA with tigers and they can run up to 30 mph. Also, you know how our fingerprints are different. Well cats’ noses are also different. They’re like fingerprints but with noses and when cats purr they can heal us. When they purr they create vibration which is around 25 – 150 Hz and that can repair bones.
Secondly, cats are amazing creatures. They can see in almost darkness, even though they are near sided. Cats are also amazing jumpers; they could jump up five times their height! Cats love to sleep. They usually spend about 70% of their whole lives just sleeping. That’s because out of 24 hours a day, they sleep around 15 hours.
Sadly, cats can’t taste sweetness so even if they want your ice cream it’s just that they’re curious not that they smell sweetness.
Did you know that cats can be left-handed and right handed too? Well, they can and studies show that males are usually more left-handed and females are usually right handed. Cats have a very flexible skeleton. They have around 230 bones in their body and we only have 203. Also, they have a free floating collarbone that allows cats to fit through very small spaces.
This is kind of a funny fact, but did you know a cat named Stubbs was the mayor of an Alaskan town for 20 years? Well it’s true! Ok thats it byeeeeeee.

From Grace’s Bookshelf: The time travel twins written by james patterson
written by Graceeeee, Feb 21, 2026
Time travel twins traveled to Egypt to save their siblings.
They met many people along the way like Cleopatra, a frog head guy, and other people. They arrived in Egypt in a pyramid and this guy who is a stealer found them and got them out. This guy who killed their parents tried killing them too, but he was unsuccessful. They learned lots about history.
They had many troubles along the way and almost died too. Another dangerous thing is that they lost their time travel crystals so most of the story they couldn’t go back to the present. Their parents hid some clues so they would be able to know and figure out things. Their time travel crystals were on their neck but someone stole it but the person that stole it felt bad so they gave it back. In the end, they found their sibling.
Questions for you
Q1. How did the Egyptians solve a fight?
A1.They assigned each other
Q2.Why do you think the Egyptians bring stuff to dead people?
A2.They thought that they would still use them in heaven or something and they wanted to celebrate their death.
Q3.Why do you think the twins time traveled to Egypt
A3.They wanted to save their brother.

From Jinho (Leo)’s Bookshelf: Trapped in a video game
written by Jinho Jung (Leo), Feb 21, 2026
Questions:
Does Jesse like video games?
How old is Jesse?
In the game,10 years is 1 month, how old do you think 20 years is?
The book (author=Dustin Brady) starts with Jesse getting a text from his friend Eric. He told him to come to his basement. Jesse did and he found a game paused in there. He unpaused it and he got sucked into the video game. He saw his left arm was a plasmacannon now. He also saw a guy standing at the top of the hill, so he climbed up and met the guy. He was the tutorial guy. He taught him how to use all of his tools, and Jesse went off on a journey to find Eric.
This book was officially introduced on April/18/2018 and It is a book that you can buy.
There are 1-5 series of books.The book I introduced is book 1.
Tahoe
Jan 24, 2026, by Ryan
My family went to Lake Tahoe in December. When we were there, it was just raining cats and dogs. It took 8 to 12 hours to go to Lake Tahoe. That night, I hoped the snow would come down from the sky.
On the second day of Lake Tahoe, it was still raining outside. My parents decided to look around the resort. The resort was really big. It is about 6000 acres. After we looked around the resort, we came back to the hotel . We relaxed on a cozy couch and then slept.
The next day while I was eating my delicious breakfast, the snow was raining down. Right after I ate my breakfast, my family went outside and headed to the gondola. We rode the gondola to the summit. 15 minutes later, we went out to the snowfield. I had my first snowman, and I had a snow fight with my dad. Also, I rolled down the hill. After playing in the snow, my family came back to the hotel and rested.
On the last day of Tahoe, we went to the hot tub and relaxed. Also, there is a pool where we can do a polar bear plunge. When I got inside, it was so cold that I literally freaked out and jumped back into the hot tub. 1 hour later we went to the arcade. We played the game until it was 9 p.m. my mom said to go to sleep early because we had to leave at 7 a.m.
In my opinion this vacation was the best, and I want to visit Lake Tahoe next December or January.
Have you ever gone to Lake Tahoe
Jan 24, 2026, by Grace
Have you ever gone to Lake Tahoe? If not then let me convince you to go. First we need the necessities. The most important thing is to bring water and warm clothes. Most people don’t know this but you should bring sunglasses and sunscreen because you’re closer to the sun than normally. I went hiking, sledding, and skiing and it was SO MUCH FUN. I went skiing at Mt. Rose. Mt. Rose had a lot of skiing places, but since there wasn’t enough snow, only 4 areas were open.
Mt. Rose was a lot of places to eat and rest, like, for example, we went to the sky bar to rest but got kicked out because I was 10. I went on the “magic” and got to a hill. It was called “Show Off,” and it was for easy/beginner. I could only go there because it was the only easy/beginner skiing route that was open. We were going to go to Mystic, Spellbound, and other beginner skiing routes, but they were sadly all closed because of not enough snow in the places.
If you want to sled, if it’s going to snow or if there is already snow, just go to a place that’s kind of on a hill and sled. We did that, and it was so much fun. We went near Carson City. I built a snowman there too. I named them Lummi, Bobby, Snow, and Kittchick. I named one Kittchick because it looked like a cat at first, but since my dad distorted it, he tried rebuilding it, but it got changed into a chick, so that’s how he got his name. The rest I named them that because I thought they were cute names.
I don’t think I really hiked, but I took many pictures. I went to a side of the lake and walked about a mile, and it was fun. We saw a lot of stuff. I even ate lunch there. We ate a lot of meat, but it was good. At the other place we stopped near the snow guys, and we took some pictures, but that was it. They were beautiful, though, and the sun was kind of setting, but it was only around 3-4 pm. We drove a lot looking for places to eat, and we found one, but it took us a long time, but the food was delicious, so it’s a loss-win, but it’s fine.
In all, Lake Tahoe is a fun and beautiful place to visit. There are so many things to do and see. We ate and explored many places. I hope I can go again, and now you know why I love Lake Tahoe, and I hope I convinced you to go on an adventure in lake tahoe.
Lake Tahoe Trip
By Leo, Jan 24, 2026
info
Lake Tahoe is a 10-hour drive from Carlsbad. There is snow all around, and it is pretty cold. It has some popular places like Tahoe Treetop, Ridge Rider Mountain Coaster, and Lake Tahoe Beach. There is a skiing and snowboarding place.
what I did
I went to a beach and went skiing every day, and I found out that I’m pretty good at it. but there was too much driving, and almost 2 days were spent if all the driving was combined. I was exhausted after the trip, but it was worth it i had some fun time there.
what I felt like at/after the trip
On the first day I woke up at 5 am to pack up and get ready to leave. It took more than 10 hours, and I was tired in the car. I slept for 5 hours in the car and played games for the remaining 5 hours. Then on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th days, it was super fun playing there, and on the 6th day, I drove back to my house, and I was super tired.
why I went to tahoe
I usually hate going on a trip, but this time I went on a trip because I used to love snow, and going to Tahoe was the only way to see snow again, but I didn’t know how much snow there was. I still took the chance and went to Tahoe.and I was lucky I did because there was a large amount of snow on the ground; the snow came up to my leg! I could barely walk because of the amount of snow. My dad had to attach a chain on the wheel to make the car move.
conclusion
In conclusion, Lake Tahoe is a popular place that has snow; you can ski, snowboard, and build snowmen. It’s a 10-hour drive from Carlsbad, but it’s worth it. Because you can see snow, if you want to play in snow, you can play a lot and have a lot of fun. I hope this article helped you learn about Lake Tahoe.
Bye.
Balboa Park Jan 17th, 2026
In Balboa, me and my family, except for my sister, went to Balboa to pick up trash on January 17, 2026. It was very fun, and we saw a lot of stuff, but one of them was a moldy piece of bread with crumbs, so we picked that up, and then my dad found a large glass bottle, and then we saw squirrels when we were picking trash up. When we were taking a break, a squirrel came up very close and touched a little bit of my hand, and it was really cute, and I got peanuts to feed it, but it had already disappeared. I explored the cultural houses, and then me and my family went to Zion market to buy fruits and veggies and then I came back home, written by Graceee
