A Paradise Called Texas and Willow Creek Home

We have been reading some books in my reading class called A Paradise Called Texas and Willow Creek Home. In these books the Jordan’s family goes through many trials. These are some characters from the book Mina, Opa, Papa, Mama, and Lisette. My favorite part from this book is when Mina gets captured by a indian then spits in his face but she still is wounded pretty badly. these books are great!

Hot Air Balloon Lesson

 

These are some things I learned in a hot air balloon lesson. Hot air rises the envelope/balloon. Cold air lowers the balloon. I also learned that there is an air valve connecting to a rope that  lets the cold air out. The hotter the tempature is the more heat you need. The more people you have in the basket the more you ignite the gas.

Water Conservation

We should save water for survival.  If we all save water because it is limited,we will have plenty of  water to drink. First we must use water carefully at home. Start by tuning the faucet off when brushing your teeth. Also you can take showers instead of baths because you waste about 70 gallons of water taking a bath. Next,you can use a bucket for watering the lawn instead of using a hose. Also you can give it to your pets ,so they don’t die of thirst. Finely, you don’t need to use a toilet as a trash can. Saving water is helpful for our survival.

The Best Gift

The best gift I have given was a red lawnmower. My Dad was very proud of me.  He said it was the best birthday present ever! From now on every twice a week he uses it. I gave him the lawnmower because his other one broke,and he begged and begged for a new lawnmower.
