Hello everybody,

This week our weekly challenge is to create some pan-fried bananas. All you need is cinnamon (kanell), Sugar (sheqar), and bananas, as well as access to a stove. DON'T do it without your mom or dad's help. I'll do it with everyone Tuesday during the free hour. Here are instructions in English if you want to try it before then.

A poem about my dog

By Onur

The New Attention Stealer In Town

One normal day at the local park in the neighborhood of Milan, Helen Stauber was coming

from her daily afternoon walk when she saw a new animal she had never seen before jumping

out of a bush.  It had a big round body with a golden color, its paws were really big and fluffy.

Its eyes were hazel and it had a weird shaped tail. 

Helen was a scared but she stood in one spot until it walked past her and immediately called

animal control. "Hello? Please help a wild, loose animal is in the central park", she whispered on

the phone. She was stressed and continued following the animal slowly so she wouldn't lose it. 

Animal Control arrived and safely put the animal in the car to try and find out what mix it was.

While the pet was examined the reporter asked Helen how she was feeling about what she had

seen that day, Helen said that she was really surprised that she was the one to experience this

extreme situation where she discovers the most unusual animal that she has ever seen. "I really

want to know more about this type of animal or where it comes from”said Helen really excitedly. 

Later on after more investigation the zoologists gave a speech about the new discovery "This

animal is probably from south Africa and it's a mix of a dog and a lion." The animal was not

harmful so they called it "the friendly lion." The zoologists will continue further investigations to

understand more about the breed.

I challenge you all to find a famous painting and recreate it. Extra points if you can be silly or funny. If you don't know many famous paintings, click HERE, HERE, or HERE to see some, or just google 'famous paintings.' I'll try to do one too before the end of the week.
