Koalas are marsupials that live in Australia’s forests. Koalas also stay up in trees to keep cool in hot weather. Read on for more about their appearance, habitat, diet and other interesting facts.
Most people think koalas are bears, but they are actually marsupials! Koalas have silvery gray fur and sharp claws. They also have a thin body, small eyes, and a cushioned bottom to sit on rough branches.
The first civilian crew to orbit the Earth went to space and returned last month. The Inspiration4 crew included Hayley Arceneaux, Jared Isaacman, Chris Sembroski and Dr. Sian Proctor. They were launched on Sept. 15, 2021. They returned on Sept. 18.

I have been volunteering with my mom since I was 9 years old. Over the last three years, we’ve done all sorts of interesting and fun volunteering projects! We’ve bagged peppers at a food bank, sorted through old hotel shampoo and conditioner bottles to make homeless hygiene kits and raked leaves at a low income apartment complex.
In my neighborhood there was a giant puddle formed by the monsoon rain. One day my mom and I decided to go for a walk. We looked in the puddle for tadpoles and saw none. The next week we looked again and we saw one and then a whole bunch.
We realized that the tadpoles could get run over by a car. So we made a sign that said “Avoid puddle. Tadpoles!” so the cars wouldn’t drive over the puddle and the tadpoles would be safe.
This summer, I joined Pima County’s Jr. Lifeguard program. The program lasts four weeks. We’re in week three, and I feel like I’ve learned a lot.
“Cleo,” written by author Helen Brown, is an emotional memoir about how a cat mends a family after tragedy strikes. It takes place in New Zealand in the early 1980s, then it slowly goes into the early 21st century.
What I like about this book is that different parts talk about the cute activities that the cat does. It reminds me of the different adorable things that my cat does.
Have you ever had or wanted a pet chicken? During this crazy year my family and I were building a chicken coop and on Easter morning we became the owners of ten chicks. Since Easter, we have learned a great deal about raising chickens, like the fact that they try to peck at things on you when you sit with them, including your clothes, watch and face. We have also learned that each chick has a unique personality just like people, some of our chicks are shy, some are curious, and some are born leaders. Our chicks are getting bigger every day and as they get bigger, they get more active.
This weekend, I got to watch the new “Cinderella.” The movie includes some familiar faces like Camilla Cabello, Idina Menzel and James Corden.
It was really cool, and I enjoyed hearing some popular songs from Queen, The White Stripes, Madonna and Ed Sheeran. The movie adds a twist to the classic Cinderella story we all know. This story takes the original Cinderella story idea—father dies, evil step-mother, meets a prince—and adds Cinderella becoming the hero of her story, not the prince.
