Brandon and Trevor’s Sports Column
Our names are Trevor and Brandon. We are writing about the Bears. In September they had a game against the Dallas Cowboys, and they lost. Rex Grossman had a bad game. He threw 2 interceptions and didn’t throw over 200 yards. They lost 34 to 10. Rex Grossman was benched and they replaced him with Brian Griese. Brian Griese has thrown over 16,000 yards in his career and Rex Grossman only threw 4,996 yards. Also, the defense isn’t as good as last year.
We think the Bears shouldn’t have traded Thomas Jones because he was a good running back, and the Bears running game is a little weak. Devin Hester is doing awesome! Brian Urlacher is doing pretty good on defense this year. He has two safeties.
In September, the Bears also played the Green Bay Packers. The Packers with Brett Favre have not lost much this year. The Bears beat the Packers 27 to 20. Brian Griese threw a touchdown pass to Desmond Clark. This win kept the Bears chance of making the playoffs alive. We hope the Bears make the playoffs.

Chicago Cubs
By Molly
Hi, I’m Molly. I will be doing a sports page for many of the issues. Today I am talking about Chicago’s baseball teams, the Cubs and the White Sox. I personally am a Cubs fan and have been since I was born. I was so happy this year when they made it to the playoffs, with a record of 87-75 finishing in first place for their division. On the other hand, the White Sox finished in 5th place and had a record of 67-95. But I am here to talk about the Cubs and their amazing season and not the White Sox.
Alfonso Soriano had the most homeruns with 33 homeruns even though injured for about a month. #16 Aramis Ramirez was 4th in the batting order had 101 RBI’s.

Eagle Feather Box
Hello, this is Amber and Alexis were going to tell you about our Eagle Feather Box at Memorial School. This year, our new principal, Mrs. Wilson, came up with the idea of having it. To get an eagle feather, a teacher has to see you doing something nice. On Friday, she pulls about 12 eagle feathers out of the box. The students who’s names get pulled get to go and pick a prize from the shelf case near the office.
Penguins
by Elizabeth
Did you know that penguins huddle when it is very COLD? They love fish. When the mom leaves their family, the dad has to take care of the baby penguin! Sometimes sharks eat the penguins! It is a cycle because fish eat other fish and penguins eat the fish that ate the other fish. Then, the sharks eat the penguins that ate the fish that ate the other fish. See you in the next issue.
