Saratoga ABCs
Saratoga Springs has a rich heritage dating back to the early 1800s. This picturesque city nestled at the foot of the Adirondacks originally attracted visitors due to its rejuvenating mineral springs. The Saratoga Race Course, the oldest race track in the United States, also brought in an abundance of wealth, which helped develop the stunning Victorian architecture that lines the streets of the city. The racetrack continues to be a hub for summer vacation as the city population triples during the summer months. Saratoga ABCs celebrates the city by spotlighting the people, places, and things that make our wonderful city of Saratoga Springs, NY unique.

Saving Water
We have all used water today. How did you use water? Water is precious. All the fresh water in the world has to be reused again and again. We must not waste it. What are some ways that people waste water? People who save water are water wise. How can we save water?
Rescuing Animals
Sometimes animals are lost, sick, or injured. The animals can be pets, but they might also be wild animals. People who save these animals are very important. Some of them are experts, like vets and nurses, but many of them have no training at all. They are ordinary people who just want the animals to be happy, clean, and safe. What would you do if you saw a homeless, sick, or injured animal?
Enjoy the Water
Oceans, lakes, and rivers are great places for fun and excitement. There are so many activities we can do on the water, in the water, or under the water, including sports. Let's take a look at some amazing water sports.
Being Mindful
Sometimes we can get stuck in our thoughts. This can also make us stuck in how we are feeling. What are some examples where we might get stuck on a thought and then feel a certain way? Does anyone have any ideas of what we can do to move away from unhelpful thoughts? This story looks at how we can breathe mindfully. We can use our minds to think about our breathing, so we can move away from unhelpful thoughts.
Body Power
We have a lot of muscles in our bodies. What do these help our bodies to do? Can anybody name parts of the body that need a muscle to make them work? We can do some things to look after our muscles. Does anyone know what we can do to help our muscles to be healthy?
In Fashion
What are your best clothes? Where do you wear them? What do people wear at a wedding, a sports game, school, or in the garden? Why do we wear different clothes for different events? When would someone wear something that was in fashion? Why?
Nature at Work
Forces of nature are strong pushes and pulls that have the power to move and change things everywhere. What makes plants grow? What makes night and day? What makes the wind blow? How are mountains and rivers made? Why does the rain fall down? The forces of nature are at work.
Learn from Fossils
Fossils are the ancient remains of living things preserved in rocks. They are usually formed from plants, bones, or shells. Scientists who study fossils are called paleontologists. Fossils show paleontologists what life was like on Earth when the animal or plant died. Which plants or animals do you know about from fossils?
Sharks
I am large. I am small. I am a fast swimmer. I have many teeth. I eat mammals and fish. I live in the oceans. Sometimes I can be dangerous. What am I? A shark! Sharks have been around since before the dinosaurs. That's a long time. They have a special job in the oceans. Let's find out what that is and why sharks are becoming endangered.
Working Dogs
Dogs are often kept as pets, living with people who look after them and play with them. But many other dogs are busy working animals that have been trained to do special jobs. Dogs are helpful because they have excellent hearing and eyesight, as well as a good sense of smell. There are many different kinds of dogs. Some kinds are good at their own special work.
Renewable Energy
We use different kinds of energy every day to give power for cars and lights and factories. What else needs energy to make it work? For a long time, people have used fossil fuels found under the ground and the sea. Coal, oil, and gas were formed from animals and plants that lived millions of years ago, but fossil fuels will not last forever. New types of fuel must be found to power the world!
Fun with Numbers
We all use numbers every day at home and at school and at work. Are you good at counting and measuring? Can you read a graph or a map? What are some other ways we use numbers to help us?
Space Life
Space is the name for the areas of the universe that are between planets, stars, and galaxies. Right now there are people living in space; they are astronauts. Astronaut is an old word meaning "sailor in the stars." Astronauts have to breathe, sleep, stay clean, do exercise, work, and use the toilet just like we do. But how they do these activities is very different. Living in space is like living in another world.
Moving Tides
You are sure to have seen the changes of the tide when you are at the beach. Do you know what makes the tide come in and go out again? How often does it happen? How do the tide changes help sea animals? Why are the tides important to people?
