Students at Windsor Elementary School do not have to sit still in class. The classrooms have exercise machines.Shelley Fabrizio is the principal at the school. She came up with the idea of bringing in the machines. The machines are being used by children in kindergarten through fifth grade. They can bounce and pedal while learning.The work stations cost about $3,635 each. Students were able to try the machines last spring. The students were asked about the machines. Each student picked a favorite one. Then the teachers knew which machines were the most popular.The students loved the chance to test them. Many students said they could pay more attention while they used the machines. That is what the school wanted. The students all ran to the moving machine, she said. Christina made a list. It shows when students can use the machines. Everyone gets a turn. Then the list starts over. I personally think this is kind of strange to be on exercise machines in class, I think that it is good that they can focus better its just I wouldn't really like to have standing desks and stuff like that. I think its good just the way it is.

There was a Moose on the loose. Running up and down the neighborhoods street and side walk. It ran so fast it seemed like it had running shoes. The people were shocked and were confused why there was a Moose in the streets. After a while police came to get it and dried many moves to get the Moose. Then the moose was gone and done with running with his "shoes". Good Bye to the Moose.

During hurricanes, snow storms, tornadoes, earthquakes etc. you always need to be prepared for almost anything to happen. You should keep water handy just in case you lose access to drinking water. Fruits, it can be canned fruit or fruit that don't have to be refrigerated and can last several weeks. First aid kit in case someone gets sick, hurt, or has a head ache will be cared for. Comfort food that is non perishable. Plastic/Paper plates and plastic utensils for eating and can be used and not having to be washed. Speaking of washed if your water line is out and you can't bath you should use body wipes so you stay decently sanitary.All of this you should have handy and ready at your house so you can use these items at any point and time.

Do aliens really exist? Recently, NASA has sent astronauts into outer space, their mission is to see if there is human or alien life on planet Mars. ¨So that even when there´s only a slight suggestion of facial features, the brain automatically interprets it as a face,¨ Kang Lee says. He claims that the human brain is very tricky and can trick us into believing anything we see. Scientists are not quite sure on how it all works. But they do know that it is linked to dyslexia, the learning disorder the affects the brain´s ability to read numbers and letters. Can aliens really exist? Or is it the brain tricking us?

Penn State men's ice hockey. At the Penn State ice arena. To prepare for this coming up season. Yesterday Penn State beat Windsor 5-2 in a exhibition match. An exhibition match is where rookies and some new players come in so the coach gets to see how strong the players are and if he wants to have them on the team or not. When the regular season comes he will let some of those players suit up with the better players so they can play in the regular season and win lots of games. I think Penn State men's ice hockey will do very well this season because they are getting good skaters and the coaches are coaching them very well.

Is there something else in King Tut’s tomb. King Tut’s tomb was originally made for a queen not a king. His barul may have been rushed and they added him to Queen Nefertiti's tomb. They have been looking for Nefertiti's tomb for many years. King Tut died early so they rushed his barul. It turns out that she was really in King Tut’s tomb.

Can asteroids really help us reach Mars? For a rocket to reach Mars it would take a little more than six months each way. For a trip that long, astronauts would need to refuel the spacecraft. A way to refuel the spacecraft would be asteroid mining. Asteroid mining is exactly what the name describes It's basically just drilling into an asteroid and collecting what's in inside. Sounds easy, but could you imagine trying to drill into a huge boulder. It would definitely be difficult although possible. So in conclusion, maybe we might end up seeing someone on Mars after all.

This weekend, South Carolina had a depressing weekend. South Carolina had major flooding, and there will have to be billions of dollars in repair. This flooding was from hurricane joaquin. They also had to survive through that hurricane. There was almost 20 inches of flooding. No one could drive. There was one person that died. Houses were wrecked, people's hearts were wrecked, and many more. Hopefully they can recover soon.

Pop star idol Taylor Swift's backup dancer on her recent tour "1989" struck adversity when his 13 month old nephew Ayden was diagnosed with cancer. Ayden's uncle Toshi set up a Gofundme to help raise money for treatment. This soon came to Taylor's attention as she decided to giveback. While the funding goal was set to $20,000, Taylor broke the barriers and donated $50,000 instead saying that she was lucky enough to perform with his uncle and that everyone was praying for him and sending love.
