New Macaroni City
Abbreviation Fact: Abbreviations are great for shortening the names of places. For example, New Macaroni City becomes NMC. Other examples: NewYork City becomes NYC , California becomes CA, United States of America becomes USA.
People were thrilled when they heard about Emily’s new invention. Everyone lined up carrying words that needed to be abbreviated. “Let’s start with the name of our town,” said the mail carrier. “Writing New Macaroni City on an envelope takes such a long time. And reading it over and over is no treat, either.”
He fed the town’s name into Emily’s machine. Beep , burble , burp! Out popped a brand-new abbreviation for their town: NMC . “This is amazing!” said the mail carrier. “I’ll be able to deliver letters to everyone in NMC twice as fast tomorrow.”

Learning Box Chasing rainbows means trying to achieve something that’s unrealistic, even impossible. You’ve probably heard stories about pots of gold at the end of rainbows. Of course, these are just stories. Someone who chases rainbows hoping to find gold would definitely be attempting the impossible.
The first act is a gymnast named Polly Prattle. She’s walking on her hands. Wow, that’s pretty impressive! But Polly is chasing rainbows if she thinks she can beat me.
I’m feeling good. I’m not even a tiny bit nervous. I’ll just chill out until it’s my turn.
