Keeping Your Hands Clean and Dry
Although some people don’t like using automatic hand dryers in restrooms, it
may actually be argued that motion-sensing hand dryers are a practical alternative to
paper towels. More and more businesses are investing in automatic hand dryers for
their restrooms today. For one reason, they are more sanitary than paper towels.
Secondly, they are actually cheaper than using paper towels. Lastly, automatic hand
dryers keep the restrooms cleaner. I believe that our school would benefit from
investing in automatic motion-sensing hand dryers in all the restrooms.

The Structure of the Flower
The lower and outermost part of a flower is the sepals. They are usually green.
They look like leaves. They form the protective covering of the flower when it is still
a bud.
Above the sepals are the petals. Petals often have bright colors because they
attract insects. Growing just above and within the circle of petals are the stamens.
Each stamen has a long stem like part called filament. At the top of the filament is
another which is filled with yellow or reddish dust-like grains called pollen.
The innermost part of the flower is the pistil which has three parts – the
stigma, the style and the large base called ovary. Within the ovary are small structures
called ovules. Seeds develop from the ovules. (Grade 5 Lesson Guide p. 204)

farmers. When the farmer was dying, he called his sons to him and said, “Boys I am
about to leave you. I have hidden my wealth in the vineyard, search for it. It is all I
have to give you.” His sons thought that their father had buried a treasure in the

Having a Ball
Students from nine schools in New York City competed in the Colors of the
Rainbow ballroom dancing finals on Saturday, June 20. The fourth and fifth graders
shook their hips, twirled around and sashayed across the stage. In the end, students
from P.S. 128 danced away with the top prize. P.S. 128 are in the neighborhood of
Washington Heights in Manhattan.
The school has participated in the ballroom program for four years. This was
its second trip to the finals. Last year, the school won silver. This year, the students
won a first-place trophy that towered over their heads. “The children worked so hard,”
says Lissette Ureña, a fifth-grade teacher at P.S. 128. “We practiced after school three
times a week.” Former ballroom champion Pierre Dulaine started the Dancing
Classrooms program in 1994.
It brings ballroom dancing to nearly 35,000 students in 14 cities around the
country. In 20 lessons over the course of 10 weeks, kids learn a variety of dances,
including the tango, foxtrot, rumba and swing. “This program isn’t just teaching
dance,” said Dulaine. “We are teaching confidence and teamwork.” In the end,
Dulaine comforted the children who did not win first place. “Does it make you a bad
dancer if you don’t win the big trophy?” He swung his hips back and forth—of course
not! “Can you still shake it?” The children laughed and shouted, “Yes!”
