Latika’s class went on a field trip to a pumpkin patch．Getting there was fun because there was so much to look at through the bus window．The leaves on the trees were so pretty．They had started to change colors．Before Latika knew it, they had arrived at the pumpkin patch．
First, the class walked through the barn．The farmer showed the students some of his farm tools, and told them what it was used for．Latika’s favorite farm tool was the tractor．She wished that she could take it for a ride．
After touring the barn, everyone got to go for a hayride!A big green tractor, like the one in the barn, pulled a large cart full of hay．The class had fun throwing hay into the air．
The last thing the class did was picking out a pumpkin．Each student got to take home one pumpkin．Evan picked a big round pumpkin．Stewart chose a tall, skinny pumpkin．Latika took her time looking over the pumpkins before she picked one．Finally, she decided on a very small, round pumpkin．She thought it would look nice on the windowsill in her kitchen．

Are you carrying too much on your back at school?I’m sure lots of children of your age will say“Yes”．Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the USA also have heavy school bags．
Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them．
“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy,”said Rick, an 11-year-old student in the USA．He is among students who have common school bags with two straps(带子)to carry them, but many other students choose rolling bags．But even with rolling bags, getting upstairs and buses is still a problem for children．Many of them have hurt their backs and necks because of the heavy school bags．
But how much is too much?Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight．Scott, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 stay with 10%．But it’s also important that older children don’t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing．“Children are losing their balance(平衡)and falling down with their school bags,”he said．
Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night．Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home．One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!
