Ike Mitchell, Wyoming Middle School: I
really like the story of the two orphan red pandas. I wish they
weren't endangered. I would like to have one as a pet, but that
won't happen. I kind of feel bad for them because they got rejected
by their parents.
Claire Miller, St. Jude School: I think
the Red Pandas at the Cleveland Zoo were very cute. Over the summer,
my friend and I went to the Zoo and saw some Red Pandas. We even
got to take a ride on a camel. That was one bumpy ride!
Brittany Reasar, St. Jude School: I think
it was interesting on how people can go and chip off pieces of
the Berlin Wall. I never knew that before. My class is doing projects
on different walls, right now in class. We are making them with
tissue boxes.
Julia M., Morton Elementary: I thought
the bug race was sooo freaky and cool! I never knew bugs could
run that fast. My teacher wouldn’t go there. She doesn’t
like bugs. Neither do I. I thought bugs were slow.
Caitlin Sauvey, Midview West Elementary:
Hi! My name is Caitlin Sauvey! I love horses and they are very
friendly! My friend Mary loves horses too. If I was a horse, I
would go crazy. But if I was a horse and they put hot horse shoes
on me I would go crazier!
Patty Blood, E.H. Greene School: The fall
of the Wall of Berlin ways an amazing part of our history. It
must have taken so long to break it down. The ceremony they had
was outstanding. The giant dominos were beautiful.
Ethan Davis, Cassingham Elementary: I loved
the bug race! It was so funny when they tried to run away! But
I’m also wondering what happens if the bug wins. Will they
get a prize or something? And what kind of bugs were they?
Zoe Schlosser, E.H. Greene Intermediate:
I found the bug race REALLY interesting, who knew people trained
bugs for a race. It was really creepy though, to think these bugs
were crawling around on the floor everywhere. I think it would
be a good experience to see a bug race though, you definitely
don't see that often. Though, I do give it to the people who train
their bugs, I can't imagine how hard that might be!
Owen Pubal, St. Jude School, Elyria, OH:
I'm really glad that our shoes don't get burned and nailed on
like horse shoes do! That would be a good job for someone who
is interested in horses. You would have good job security! It
does look kind of dangerous working with the hot metal, and what
would happen if the horse got mad at you? They should feed the
horses apples and carrots to keep them happy while they get their
new shoes! Thanks for the story!
Christina Becker, RC Lindsey Elementary:
I enjoyed this week's show about putting shoes on a horse .It
would hurt to put nails horse shoes on my feet, but I know it
does not hurt the horse. When I grow up I want to be like that.
But I want someone else to get the shoes out of the fire. I would
burn my face off.
Emily Witt, St. Jude School: I never really
thought about how the horses got horse shoes! I think it was a
neat process and a fun job. At least the heat does not hurt the
horse. I am glad that we can wear tennis shoes!
Rachel Leffel, New Knoxville School: It's
amazing to see how much work goes into making horseshoes and putting
them on. I would never like to do that job. It looks like it really
hurts the horses' foot, but good thing it doesn't. I would never
let anybody put horseshoes on my feet.
Hi, My name is Jakob Hwang. I am in 4th
grade at St. Peter School in North Ridgeville, OH. I was so excited
to see your story on the new red pandas at the Cleveland Metroparks
Zoo. We are Zoo members and we received the newsletter the same
day I saw your story. My parents said if you read my letter on
next weeks show they will take me next weekend to see the red
pandas. I can't wait to see them because they look so awesome!
Thanks Newsdepth.
Marcus Nitschke, New Knoxville School:
WOW! It was AMAZING to see all of those "dominoes" fall.
I didn't know there used to be a wall splitting Germany in half!
I asked my grandpa about it and he told me the wall was torn down
ten years before I was born. I bet when the wall was torn down
everyone was really excited . I know I would be!
Jaden Foster, Fenn Elementary: That horse
story was cool! I was so glad when you told us that it did not
hurt the horses. I never knew you had to nail the shoes on the
horses. I always thought that they are like the shoes you and
I put on. Can you do another story about horses?
Caitlin Rheaume, Olmsted Falls Intermediate
School: I liked the story about how the Vietnam Veterans were
honored in Shelby, Ohio. I wonder if my cousin Hayley was there.
It is nice to hear about how America honors fallen and living
veterans. It touches me every time I hear about something like
this because I have twelve or so veterans in my family.
Nicole Neri, St. Jude School: I think it
was really cool to see how many people had some pieces of the
Berlin wall. The people at least have something to remember it
by and tell their grandchildren. That story was truly remarkable!
I think at every museum they should have at least a little bit
of the wall on display and describe what happened and why they
have it; or maybe a movie to show the Berlin wall when it was
just barbed wire and then show them putting concrete over it.
Keifer Pruitt, Heritage Elementary: Wow!
Those bugs looked like they were going 5 mph. What speed where
they going? I thought it was funny when the bug looked like it
died. I want to do the international bug race.
Zachary Horvath, St. Jude School: I thought
it was SO cool how they made styrofoam dominoes and knocked them
over where the Berlin Wall once stood! I wonder if it was hard
to set up the dominoes. I know that I have trouble setting up
my dominoes at home. I mean one and a quarter miles, that’s
a lot of dominoes! I wish I could've seen it. It would be real
cool.
Dylan Kubilus, Valley View Elementary:
I loved the bug race. I’d like to start my own bug race,
but I would need a lot of bugs. I wonder how they trained the
bugs to race?
Collin McKenzie, St. Mary Chardon: Those
red pandas were so cute! I just can’t believe Mei Mei got
rejected from her very own mother. If I got rejected from my mother
I would be hopeless. I would love to see Rohan and Mei Mei at
the Cleveland Zoo.
Hi I’m Olivia Rohrbacher and I’m
from Meadowlawn School in Sandusky, Ohio I think it is really
cool that those were actual styrofoam dominoes. They were huge!!
I think it would be so much fun to sculpt one of those.
Muriel B., Wyoming Middle School: I thought
the little red panda story was so cute! But, it was so sad that
they were endangered. I wish I could have a red panda! I wonder
how they got endangered. I really want to see the video of the
pandas online. I can't wait!
Elizabeth, St. Jude School: I really enjoyed
this week’s show. I thought it was interesting when you
talked about the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Berlin Wall
falling. I think it was so cool when the dominoes fell. I can't
believe the number of people that were celebrating that day. If
I were there when the wall was up, I would have wanted to escape
to the other side for freedom. Also, I couldn't even image how
much work it would have been to chip off bits of the wall piece
by piece. I really enjoyed the show!
Cassandra, Applewood Elementary: It was
really nice of them to throw a celebration parade, so the veterans
can be respected for once. My great grandpa was in that war but
he never got the respect like that, poor guy.
Bailee Jetton, Meadowlawn Elementary: The
Berlin Wall must have been huge if they built it to keep people
from crossing to the other side of Germany. I don't understand
why they would even try to keep people in. That's amazing how
many people joined together to take it apart. I think that everybody
who has a piece of the wall must be lucky because it's a part
of history.
Hannah Davis, Miami East Junior High: I
liked and disliked the story on the bug race. I don't like bugs,
especially spiders. My dogs like to eat bugs or flies. Although,
I think it is a cool fact that a cockroach can live up to three
weeks without its head.
Mikaela Phillips, Huntington Elementary:
Wow! That bug race was cool! How do bugs learn to go on the right
line? I would be worried they would get squished!
Brianna Bradley at Midview West Elementary:
I think that breaking down the wall was pretty helpful. I wish
I could have helped, not just to get a piece of the wall, but
to help the people. To the people that were trapped on the wall
were probably happy when the wall got torn down. The people that
got the wall are very lucky to have a piece. When I watched that,
I thought that it was great to tear down the wall.
Syed Jafri, Center Elementary: I was surprised
that there was one female red panda cub named Mei Mei that was
REJECTED by her mother. I feel really bad for Mei Mei. I was also
surprised when Rohan another red panda bear from the Washington
D.C. National Zoo's mother wasn't there for him so he had to be
raised by zookeepers in Ohio. After I saw the video of them together
it looked like they were fighting but they were actually playing.
I feel happy and sad for them because they lost their mom which
was sad and that they met each other which was good.
Haya Akbik E.H. Greene Intermediate School
Mr. Kelly's Social Studies Class: That bug race was so cool and
wierd! I would be so freaked out if all types of bugs were crawling
around. I don't really like bugs. I would be tip-toeing around
because I don't want to step on a bug. They never did anything
to me. Except creep me out..... that doesn't count though. The
Berlin Wall anniversary. I loved watching the styrofoam dominos
fall one by one. That wall went a long way! What was it, like
103 miles long? I want a piece from the Berlin Wall! If I did,
it would feel like I was there. Plus, the rocks/pieces look so
cool! Wow some amazing wall!
Sharon Brickey, Montrose Elementary: I
think being a ferry would be a cool job! I love horses and their
feet are HUGE! Once I went to a horse ranch sleep-away camp for
a whole week. if I were a horse and I was getting horseshoes I
would be scared. It looks like it hurts, but it doesn't hurt ...
for the horses.
Ashley Watson, St. Jude School: I thought
it was so cool that you did an article on the Berlin Wall since
I'm doing research on it in school right now. You gave me some
great ideas about what to write about. I like how the tearing
down of the wall became a symbol of freedom.
Lana Bizet, New Knoxville School: I think
the farrier is cool. I never knew that is a century old job. That
is so interesting that it doesn’t bother the horse. That
would really bother a human. If I were a horse I would hate it.
Hannah Moskowitz, Greene Intermediate:
The tribute in Shelby, Ohio I think is was kind. Yes, when those
veterans came home before they didn't get parades or anything
like people do now but paying up for it later like all the people
in Shelby did I think meant a lot to the veterans. And I'm sure
they enjoyed the parades but the words "thank you" probably
meant the most. We all truly appreciate our veterans.
Ashley Scott, New Knoxville: I WOULD LOVE
to working with horses! When I would have to nail the horse shoes
in it would scare me. I would think I was hurting it!! It would
be scary if the horse would move and hurt you. IMAGINE how hot
it is standing by the VERY HOT stove. I bet it is so hot it could
kill you. KNOW THAT IS SCARY!!!!!!!!! I love working with horses!!!!!!
Rachel Bode, Valley View Elementary: Those
dominoes were huge! Since they were made from Styrofoam, wouldn’t
they blow away? My friend and I tried making a long domino line
but it turned out like a HUGE city! We used every domino we could
find in our houses! If I had the Styrofoam dominoes I would build
my own house out of them.
Inanna Castor, Brook Elementary: I really
liked when you showed how people actually trained bugs to race.
I didn't even know you could train bugs until I saw this week’s
episode! Even though it sounds fun I would not want to work with
ANY kind of bug, even if it was cute, especially spiders!
Rachel Hawkins, New Knoxville School: I
really liked the bug race. It is weird that all the other girls
in my class thought it was gross. I thought it is cool to see
bugs race. I wonder how they train their bugs.
Mariah Wittmer, Meadowlawn Intermediate
School: I thought the story about the bug racing was very cool!
It’s also something I've never heard of. It's cool that
the bugs actually race! I think it would be heard to train a bug
because of its size and you can't talk to a bug. Over all I think
it's a very unique and neat thing to do.
Nolan Corcoran, St. Peter School: I really
liked the story about horse shoeing. It is so cool how the shoe
is heated, shaped and then nailed onto the horse's hoof. I can't
believe that this is a job that has been around for thousands
of years and is still happening the same way today!
Spencer Dillinger, Huntington Elementary:
It's amazing that in Germany, they built a wall making East and
West Berlin. I was surprised that people were allowed to chip
pieces off the wall and save it in libraries, schools and museums.
I wish I could have been there.
Ashley Borrageiro, New Vienna Elementary:
I thought the bug race was cool! I have tons of bugs at my house.
I think it might be a little hard to train them. I saw a huge
bug once...man was it fast!
Caitlyn Kuron, Fairfield Elementary: WOW!
That was so cool how they were chipping the wall. I was amazed
that there was graffiti on the other side. Also how big and long
it was. WOW!
Andrew Glasberg: I am a big fan. I think
your show is great. I look forward to watching every Thursday.
I think the segment on the horse shoes was pretty cool. It was
very cool how the guy made a sheet of metal into a horse shoe.
I’m a sixth grader from Watterson-Lake School in Cleveland
and I love your show.
Thomas Gillespie, St. Peter School: I thought
it was sad how the panda cub was rejected by its mom. If my mom
did that to me I would never speak to her again. Just kidding.
I love my mom. I’m sure everyone else in the world loves
their moms too.
Kiersten, Northwood School: The wall must
have been huge. My teacher has a fragment of the wall. It is a
few inches long. I should ask my mom for a piece of the wall.
If I was trapped on one side of the wall and wanted to get on
the other side, I would do that too.
William Bartholic, St. Rose School: Man,
I can’t believe that a bug can race! I love bugs. Once,
a car smashed a praying mantis, but it was still alive! When I’m
older I might make a bug circus or make a transformer that looks
like a bug and is small. Again, I’m going to say this –
I LOVE BUGS!
Hailey Smith, Olmsted Falls Intermediate:
My favorite is the little red pandas find friendship at the Cleveland
Zoo because the pandas became friends when they first saw each
other. I love that they are different. They face is so cute –
I love them. Now I have a favorite animal.
Max Freiberg, Chagrin Falls Intermediate:
My favorite part of this week’s NewsDepth was when they
put the horse shoes on the horses. Why does it hurt us but it
doesn’t hurt the horses? It just seems like it would hurt
them because they nail it on their feet. I wish I could go to
Georgia and meet that horse someday.
Andrew Davidson, Chagrin Falls Intermediate:
I liked the part in this week’s episode about the bug races.
I wonder who won the races. I wonder where the finish line is.
I would like to do that someday. I think bugs are cool!
Kendrick Sartor, Clovernook Elementary:
I am writing about the bug race that was UNBELIEVABLE. How could
they train their bug to do that? I would be SCARED out of my mind
if I was there. I felt bad for that little girl. Do they get money
for winning? If I was in it I would train all night to win. Do
they travel to different states and schools like Clovernook? If
they do, I would bring my spider Sam.
Tamya Birch, Clovernook Elementary: The
story about the farriers was awesome! I don’t know how the
horses can take so much heat pressure on their hooves. I also
would like to know how you can be a farrier. You must have to
get straight As in farrier school.
Damian Clason, Northwood School: I think
Shelby, Ohio did a good thing honoring the veterans. I thank the
veterans for all they do to keep this country safe. When I grow
up I want to be a pilot in the Air Force. If I’m good enough
maybe I’ll get a medal. I hear that you have to be in flight
school for 40 hours. Is that true?
Kayla Slife, Northwood School: I thought
the story about the red pandas was really cool. I love pandas.
They are one of my favorite animals. They are so cute. They looked
like they were having a lot of fun.
Drew Kleinman, B.L. Miller Elementary:
That is so awesome! I can’t believe they race bugs! I wonder
what would happen if a bug got squished or stepped on. If I were
a bug, I would not want to have to train and be in a little jar.
That would be like a human in the Olympics except there would
be no little jar.
Mayzi Stella, B.L. Miller: I liked the
bug race. Maybe I can join next year. Maybe our class can have
one. It would be fun. I would use cockroach, but I can never find
any.
