A dance festival is held each year at the Benson Elementary School, P.S.200. The performance is taken place outside of the spacious school yard, with loud music blasting from speakers that are quite large. Parents and neighborhoods gather around the school yard to watch the performances. Residents who live across the street sit outside of their homes and some even bring lawn chairs into the school yard. Each grade level has a different song and dance that they perform to. Grade K comes out first to perform, and then it continues up to grade 5. The students dance to songs like the Electric Slide, Macarana, and much more. They dress colorfully in bright clothes and accessories like bows and ties. The students also create their own instruments from bottles and cardboard tubes from paper towels.

When the weather get warm, children like to go out and play outside. They usually go out onto the sidewalk to play ball, ride their bikes, and play with neighboring children. But sometimes the playing outside can be dangerous. At anytime the children may run out onto the streets when they are unattended by their parents. So in order to increase the children’s safety of playing outside, much more of these road signs are being put up onto lamp posts for drivers to drive with caution.
The amusement park known as Astroland in the heart of Coney Island is no longer there. Astroland is under going development to create an amusement park that will be bigger and better. Over the years Astroland has been looking more and more unattractive. Some of the areas look dirty and many games and rides that were once there have been shut down. The Coney Island Development Corporation decided to develop a new amusement park in place of it, that will be available year round as a tourist attraction and to the local residents. The new and enhanced amusement park with seaside attractions will be known as the Steeplechase Plaza. The idea of the Steeplechase Plaza is to bring in more visitors and increase the economic opportunities. It will have a lot more entertainment and nightlife.
