There are many ways you can protect your teeth from cavities. When cavities form they give bacteria a place to hide while forming a clear coating on your teeth called, plaque. A buildup of plaque can burn holes in your teeth, so it is important to prevent the plaque from forming. Using fluoride toothpaste is a good way to prevent cavities. Fluoride is a chemical that hardens your tooth enamel and makes it harder for acids to burn through your teeth. Some water bottling companies add fluoride to their water, so drinking water with fluoride in it will also help. Another way you could prevent cavities is to avoid sugary foods, and chew sugar-free gum. Bacteria loves sugar, and when you eat lots of sugar they eat, too! There are many ways to prevent cavities, but the best way is to brush for two minutes, at least two times a day, using fluoride toothpaste and a toothbrush. By doing this, you are making sure that you still have your teeth when you are older. It will also give you something to smile about!

Ever since Emily was little, she dreamed of being able to ice skate. Her parents would often take her to their local park to see the holiday lights in the trees. However, all of the beautiful lights weren't what fascinated her. Emily's eyes were always glued to the graceful ice skaters in the skating rink. This year, Emily was determined to become one of the graceful skaters herself. She begged her dad to take her to the ice skating rink every day after school. Her dad was on the hockey team in college, and she knew he could help. When Emily glided out onto the ice, she slipped almost immediately. Her dad helped her up and encouraged her to try again. She steadied herself and off she went. She skated for several feet before falling again. Though she was discouraged, she decided to keep trying.On her third week of practice, Emily was finally seeing the process.

Water plays an important part in our lives and in our environment. It covers nearly three-quarters of the Earth’s surface. It is fun to play in, but it is also needed for life. In fact, we can not survive without water to drink. People also need water to wash, cook, and  grow food. Every living thing needs water. Without it, plants and trees would not grow, aquatic life would have nowhere to live, and animals who find their food in the water would have nothing to eat. Up in Earth’s atmosphere, water vapor cools and collects into clouds. When enough clusters of cloud particles stick together, they tumble back down to Earth as rain, snow, hail, or sleet. Without water, the water cycle would not work, and we would not have precipitation on Earth. Did you know that most of the world’s population does not have access to clean water? We are very lucky to live in a country where clean water is available for us to drink. It is up to us to be responsible users of the water we have on  Earth.

Finally! The day that Erica had been waiting for had arrived. She could barely wait to rush over to Grandma's house to plant seeds. Grandma had promised Erica that she could pick out any kind of flower seed that she wanted. When Mom dropped Erica off at Grandma's they got to work right away. Erica couldn't believe all of the different flower seeds there were to choose from. After studying the pictures on the seed packets, she decided to plant zinnias and marigolds. Grandma helped Erica sow the seeds in various pots so that they could bring them inside until the weather was warmer. Over the next few days, Erica constantly checked on her plants. She watered them and made sure they got plenty of sunlight. She was disappointed that there were no sprouts yet. She wondered if she should just give up. After school the next day, Erica checked on her plants. Five tiny green shoots had appeared! Erica grinned, imagining the flowers she would soon have.
