In the spring, Farmer Bill planted seeds in his field. He threw seeds on the ground, hoping they would grow into plants. Then, he went home. Three noisy birds sat on a branch in a nearby tree. They flew down and ate all the seeds. Steve the Snail sat in the shade of the tree. He also saw Farmer Bill toss the seeds. He saw the birds gobble them up. Steve peered out of his shell without moving very much. Snails are extremely slow creatures! Farmer Bill Gets Angry Farmer Bill came out the next day. He saw the seeds were gone and became very annoyed. He flung down more seeds. After he left, the three loud birds laughed. Then, they flew down and ate the seeds. Steve the snail watched. The next day, the same thing happened. Steve looked on as the birds dined on the seeds. He heard them chuckling. When Farmer Bill realized the seeds were gone again, he became very angry. He looked around and saw Steve. "What happened to my seeds?" the furious farmer asked the snail. After five minutes, Steve replied, "I don't know. Everything happened so fast!"

A P.S. 333 student counts the plants. FROM TOP: NICOLE BENGIVENO—THE NEW YORK TIMES/REDUX; ARI BURLING P .S. 333 is a public school in New York City. There's a classroom on top of the school, but it's not your normal classroom. Cucumber, tomato, and lettuce plants line the walls. Next to the desks, fish swim in a pool. Ladybugs fly around the whiteboard. This special greenhouse classroom is part of New York Sun Works' Greenhouse Project. Its goal is to teach kids about city farming and the environment. "You get to think with your hands," Laurie Schoeman told TFK. She is the director of Sun Works. Students label the plants. Then, they watch them grow during the year. The food is served in the school cafeteria and also at local restaurants. "It allows the kids to connect science to social studies while they grow their very own fresh and delicious food," Sidsel Robards told TFK. She helped start the Greenhouse Project. A City Farm The farm at P.S. 333 is built for a city. Rainwater is collected and stored in a tank. The water is used for the plants, but not in the usual way. Instead of using soil, plants are grown using only water and special nutrients. In another part of the greenhouse, fish help, too. They provide the nutrients for plants. The plants float on top of the water in the tank. Fish eat the plant roots. Fish waste helps the plants grow. Schoeman says the students benefit by having a working farm inside their school. She hopes the project will spread to other New York City schools. She also hopes it will spread to other parts of the country.

Informative/ Explanatory Informative/ Explanatory ILLUSTRATIONS BY KELLY KENNEDY (4); BONE: ISTOCKPHOTO.COM/LARRYRAINS “C'mon Butch, get the ball." Sandy threw the ball and Butch raced across the yard. The dog caught the ball in his mouth, ran back to Sandy, and dropped it at his feet. Ten minutes later, Sandy said, "I know you love this game, but it's time to stop." Butch pulled back his mouth, and it looked like the dog was smiling. "I wish I knew what you're thinking, Butch," said Sandy. The next morning, Sandy felt something wet. It was Butch licking his face. Suddenly, Sandy heard, I have to go out. Wake up! Sandy looked around, but only Butch was in the room. Sandy is so lazy. Sandy sat up in bed. "Who said that?" I'll try licking him again. As Butch began to lick Sandy, Sandy jumped back. Sandy thought, I'm hearing things in my head, but there's no one aroundÉexcept Butch. If I don't go outside, there's going to be an accident inside. Sandy was hearing Butch's thoughts! "Can you understand me?" Sandy said out loud. Does he think I can talk? Sandy heard Butch think. Sandy's mind raced. Who could he tell about this? People would think he was nuts. "So, uh, Butch, you want to go outside?" asked Sandy. I thought you'd never ask, thought Butch. Outside, Sandy picked up a stick and tossed it. "Fetch it, Butch!" Doesn't he ever get tired of this game? I know I do. Sandy was shocked. He was sure Butch loved to chase things. "Let's go for a walk, Butch." Sandy put a leash on Butch. Hearing Things At the park, Sandy unhooked the leash and let Butch play with other dogs. Sandy is okay for a human, Sandy heard Butch tell one of the other pooches. Later, at lunch, Sandy put out a bowl of dog food. "It's your favorite treat." Same old stuff, day after day. I want human food. Sandy and his family were eating at the kitchen table. He heard Butch. Yum, steak. My favorite. A second later, Butch was sitting next to Sandy, staring at the steaks. "No, Butch!" yelled Sandy's mother. "Down!" They won't even give me a taste? We'll see about that. Butch jumped up on the table and grabbed a steak in his mouth. He ran out, gobbling down the food. Sandy found Butch, curled up in his favorite spot and stopped to hear his dog's thoughts. I play with them, walk with them, let them pet me, guard their house. And then, they get upset over a piece of meat. It's not easy being a dog. The next morning, Sandy tried to listen to his dog's thoughts. But the power was gone! Now, what? Sandy thought. Butch sat up. Did I just hear my human's thoughts? Whoa! Doesn't he ever get tired of this game? I WANT HUMAN FOOD! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 19 17 18 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Card ➌ ©TIME For KIds TCM 23816 ©Teacher Created Materials, Inc.

School districts in Texas, Maine, and other states have banned the game. They believe it is too violent and can lead to bullying. Also, a child who is hit by a ball early in the game spends too much time on the bench. But others believe dodgeball should still be played. They say the game is a fun way to teach skills. Kids learn concentration and hand-eye coordination. What do you think? Is dodgeball a great game or a bad idea? Here, two students share their views. Emerson Pereira, 8, Prairie Village, Kansas Kids should have the right to play not just soccer or basketball at school. They should be able to play dodgeball, too. Most kids love dodgeball. It teaches important skills, like concentration and quick decision-making. At most schools, teachers watch the kids play. Therefore, if someone gets bullied or hurt, they will know. Also, most schools use very soft balls to keep kids safe. Sometimes, my school even uses yarn balls! Liv Wilson, 9, Kalispell, Montana I think that dodgeball should be banned because it teaches the wrong lesson. Our school has an anti-bullying program. It teaches us to be kind to each other. If we threw a ball at someone at recess, we would be bullying. So why is it okay to hit someone in gym during dodgeball? Also, I have been hurt many times in dodgeball. Should Dodgeball Be Banned in School? HENRY A. BARRIOS—THE BAKERSFIELD CALIFORNIAN/ZUMAPRESS.COM Is dodgeball good, clean fun or a mean-spirited sport? NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
