WNDR MUSEUM By Lucy P.
WNDR Museum Environmental Stewardship at Big Marsh
It was real nice. I met the people. The lady was nice - she took a picture with us. We had to wear the black slippers, like raining boots, over our shoes. We seen a lot of things. The bathroom was like a disco. When you push a red button, you make all that music.

There was a disco ball and the wall was decorated with black and white designs. When I remodel my house I'm gonna get me a bathroom like that. I would play "Kiss and Say Goodbye" by The

LONG ARTICLE ABOUT WNDR MUSEUM By Marcus W.
This is a long article about the WNDR Museum. The Museum is very big. We spent a lot of time at WNDR Museum. We took a nice picture outside and we see lots of people gathering at the WNDR Museum. The WNDR Museum was beautiful. "I like going to outing," I said. "I see a beautiful bathroom like disco." The WNDR Museum was a very large town with very high building like kids like to sit down and watch some movies. The article was very long. I wrote about a nice article and tell how we are doing. We went to get ice cream and we had a lot of fun. I had a very nice time at the WNDR Museum.

BIG MARSH: A DREAM COME TRUE by William C.
Me, Vahid, Rosa, and Ruth went to Big Marsh Park to take care of the park. Julia, Mike, and Luis from the Chicago Park District/Big Marsh showed us a few steps.
Big Marsh is beautiful, it's nice, it's absolutely gorgeous, and it's big. I was 5 steps ahead of Julia, and she liked it very much because she knew that I knew what was going to happen next. We mulched the grass and we chopped down the tree, the one that has tags on them because they were the bad trees. Bad trees kill the grass and the flowers. We took pictures and video so that the world could see what we can do. If they watch very closely, they could look and learn how to mulch the grass and cut down the trees that have tags on them. Right before we went home, we talked about it on video. It's important to me because when Jimmy one day takes me to a Gala Ball, other people can see what we are capable of. People can see that we can do so much. It was a dream come true because by it being so beautiful, so gorgeous, so nice, if I take a walk through the path, it's going to remind me of where they shot the movie At Close Range with Sean Penn, Christopher Penn, Christopher Walken, and Mary Stuart Masterson. I'm comparing the Big Marsh to where they shot the movie At Close Range because where they shot it it looks dreamy, beautiful, gorgeous, and nice. But the story is not dreamy, beautiful, gorgeous, and nice.

I'M HAPPY FOR MY COUSIN JULIAN We celebrated my cousin's graduation party in their parents' house backyard. It was beautiful and cool outside with a lot of breeze. I heard a dog barking. They had a lot of family members. We talked and laughed. We appreciate sharing the good old days. We used to go to their house a lot before my aunt passed away. It was amazing and nice outside with fresh air. I didn't wear a mask because my Aunt Mita told me and my mom to take it off. I love listening to Spanish music. I was dancing with my uncle. Everybody

REI MOUNTAIN BIKING ADVENTURE By Vahid M. I drove super far to the lake with Fred and Jimmy Sanchez. It was outside. We took a break for 5 minutes. I see grass, water, ten fish, and animals. We were standing and pedaling. Drive up and down and up and down and straight. We were pedaling and pumping. Jimmy Sanchez said, "Do you want to take a break?" Jimmy Sanchez made me fall. I said, "I need space." We need space, like 6 feet. I fell down in the grass. Jimmy said, "Get up, it's dirty." He said, "Do you need a change of clothes?" I scratched my legs. I said, "I can't do that." We pedal, pedal, pedal, pumping and sit up, and ride. He said, "Are you tired?" I said, "What? Are you seriously?" I said, "Just keep going." My heart was like, "Boom, boom," making noise. I said, "Fred, please, I need a break. I need a water bottle." I said, "Give me one sip." I lied down in the grass. Jimmy said, "Why are you not finishing your lunch?" He said, "We are leaving in 5 minutes to go back to Westtown." I feel pretty good, awesome. I said, "Thank you for riding with us and joining us. Thank you for driving." He said, "Maybe next week you will come again. Maybe next week we will drive the boat, maybe sleep in the boat, maybe wake up in 5 minutes or an hour." I said, "Thank you Fred, and have a great day."

THE OBAMA PORTRAITS by Eunice and Tiffani Last time we met, we talked about architecture. This week, we decided to look at art and design and the different textures and colors that designers use to make things like chairs. We learned about the colorful world of Alexander Girard who also designed textiles and toys along with so many other things. We traveled around the world to get ideas and inspiration from other creators and to learn how they find solutions for designing furniture and lights, and so many other products. "Things that can make us feel happy, and it makes other people feel happy too," said Tiffani. We learned about the artists who painted the portraits of President Obama (Kehinde Wiley) and Michelle Obama (Amy Sherald). The artists used lots of color. "It's not too bland, it would make you feel beautiful," said Tiffani. On June 18, the Obama portraits will be shown at The Art Institute of Chicago. There will be free admission for all Illinois residents from the opening to June 25.
ASUKA Asuka is a wrestler from Japan. She is tough. I like her clothes and masks. When she takes off the mask, she takes it off dramatically and slowly and shows her makeup. Her clothes are different because the colors are more brighter. Her boots are nice. Her hair is colorful and bright. When she takes the cape off she hands it to one of the people on the stage floor. They put it backstage for her. Charlotte Flair was her tag-team partner. They tag in and out. Asuka was an NXT Women's Champion and she held the title for 510 days. That's the longest title somebody ever held. Asuka went to an art college in Japan. She worked as a graphic designer and helped design video games. She is a video game journalist. I give Asuka 4 stars because she is a talented woman and a tough worker.
CHARLES' WRESTLING REVIEW BECKY LYNCH Becky Lynch is a wrestler. She's tough and has tough opponents who face her. She's from Ireland. She has a tough wrestling move called the "Dis-Arm-Her." She fought two different wrestling opponents, Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey. Charlotte Flair is Ric Flair's daughter. Becky Lynch is engaged to Seth Rollins. He is a tough wrestler who talks tough. He's from Chicago. He's a Bears fan. I like the different shirts he wears. He gets nervous about getting interviewed. Becky and Seth have a daughter names Roux. Becky is a good mother. Becky was with NXT for 2 years, 2013-2015. NXT is Wrestling Tonight. She was the SmackDown Women's Champion and RAW Women's Champion. She was one of first women to headline WrestleMania. Becky's outfits are different. She wears black and purple. She's a great champion because she's tough. She performed stunts in an episode of Vikings and was in the movie The Marine 6: Close Quarters. She plays a women soldier. I give her 4 stars because she's tough but hasn't been in the Hall of Fame yet.
