famous NH project

This famous NH people project was really fun but I felt like I was not going to finish it because I did not start typing yet. After I felt good because I finally finished it. What I will remember about Sarah Hale is that she never gave up asking the Presidents to make Thanksgiving a holiday. The most challenging part about the project was I had to build a poster board and writing are speeches.

His name was Captain Gordon Buell and her mother’s name was Martha Whittlesey.  She also had a little sister and an older brother. Sarah’s parents sold their farm in NH.

When she was an adult she moved to Boston. In 1813 she married David Hale and they had five children. Sarah kid’s names were Frances, Sarah, Williams, Horatio and David. Her husband died in 1822.After Sarah husband died she had to take care of five kids.

Sarah loved writing. She began her career by being a writer. She began with poetry then she wrote Mary Had a little Lamb, which got a lot of kids interested in poetry. In 1823 Sarah published a collection of her poems called The Genius of Oblivion. She was also an editor for a ladies’ magazine. As you can see Sarah became a famous writer.

She became famous because of her work. She founded the Seaman’s Aid Society in 1833 to help the family who lost a sailor. Sarah raised $30,000 in Boston for Bunker Hill Monument. The money was to finish it. She got an award named after her. Sarah Hale wrote a letter to Abraham Lincoln. She requested in the letter that he make Thanksgiving a national holiday.

Saving Water

You should save water

You and other people think, who cares about saving water?  But it does matter. If we don’t save water we can lose a lot of it.   People in the U.S. use 70 gallons of water a day in their bathtubs. All those flushes down the toilet lead up to 20 gallons a day. We lose 10 gallons of water from leaking taps and toilets.  Nearly 60% of household footprints include water used in lawns and gardens. Most front-loading washer machines are energy water efficient using 20 gallons for each load. As you see the more water you use the less other get.

We are lucky that we have water in the U.S. but other countries don’t have water. There are many people in the world that keep wasting water and if they keep wasting it there will not be enough water in the world. Leaking taps and toilets waste water and over a long period of time that adds up.  The average water used at home in San Diego is 588 gallons each day indoors and outdoors.  While some poor countries in Asia and Africa experience with living with no water!  As you can see from these reasons, people in the U.S. use a lot of water every day but we can help.

                If you want to help the environment, you should help save water.  Check on all faucet and toilets to fix leaks.  Take faster showers.  Also you should shut off the water when you brush your teeth.  If you want to soak in a bath, you should fill it half way.  If everyone in the U.S. flushes a toilet one less time a day you would save enough water to fill a lake a mile wide.  These examples I am telling are ways you can save water. 

                This is what I do to save water.  Also you can do it to.  I can put containers outside to catch water instead of the faucet.  I turn off the taps well and check the toilets and make sure I can’t hear water running.  I can take shorter showers so I can save water.  I don’t waste water, I save it by using rain water for my plants.  I told my sisters to not waste water by filling the pool.  These details I told you are of what I did to save water.  You can save water by doing what you want to do to save water.
