Let’s Save WaterAll people, animals, and plants need fresh, clean water to live. However, we sometimes waste our clean water.
There are many things we can do to protect our supply of fresh, clean water. Make sure that the kitchen sink tap is not running when you help wash the dishes. Put a plug in the kitchen sink and fill it with water instead.
You can also save water in the bathroom. Try this: fill a glass with water. Then shut off the tap. Wet your toothbrush. Brush your teeth. Then use the water in the glass to rinse your mouth. Pour the rest of the water over your toothbrush to rinse it off.

Tooth TalesWhat happens in your family when you lose a tooth?
In Canada and the United States, we hope for a visit from the Tooth Fairy. We put our tooth under our pillow at night. In the morning, we see that the Tooth Fairy has taken our tooth and given us some money. In France, the Tooth Fairy also comes, but she may give children a small toy instead of money.
In Mexico and Spain, children get money from a mouse! In Slovenia, the mouse takes the tooth and puts candy under the pillow. In Nigeria, the child hides the tooth in the attic, so the mouse doesn’t find it!
