In total she had 7 siblings. In no particular order, her  siblings were Eugenia, Annie, James, Lily, Stanley, and Eddie Wells. Wells was born in the middle of the civil war. Her parents were slaves at the time which means she was also a slave. When Wells was around the age of four her parents became politically active in Reconstruction Era politics. Her parents put their beliefs into Ida’s education. Wells wanted people of all skins to be treated equally.

should we get rid of paper money?

  should we get rid of paper money😲 Here are some reasons we should get rid of paper money. Have you ever had the problem when you're in line and you only have cash and it takes forever to pay? Wouldn’t it be easier without paper money? Paper money can get ripped very easily and then you can’t use it anymore. You have to take out the cash slowly or it easily can rip.   Another reason to get rid of paper money is you can’t really shop online with cash. You would have to shop credit or debit. For example, you have to buy are groceries during this time you are not really supposed to go out of the house and you would have to pay credit or debit, not cash. I have a few more reasons why we should get rid of paper money. You can't really use it at gas stations or at certain food stores anymore. I like this place called Tripoli because they have great food there but you can only use cash if it is 5 dollars and below. Therefore, if you only have cash you can not buy a lot of stuff....

  Why the snowboard was invented!!!    If you want to know how people overcame the problem of snowboarding in the winter you’re in the right place! There was a man named Sherman Poppens who had a son that was in eighth grade and wanted to skate 365 days a year, even on cold winter days. To help his son, Poppens came up with the snurfer. His son loved playing outside with it. Poppens knew he had made is son happy and he was very proud of it!  A lot of people love to skateboard but one problem they face is they can’t figure out how to do it in the winter, especially if they live in a place where it snows. One solution was found by a boy named Tom Sims.  Tom took a trip to California and did a lot of skateboarding there. He started to get really good and he did it all the time. When winter came he could not skateboard because of the snow and the coldness. He came up with the idea for a new board that could be used on snow, the skiboard. He started to ...

     HISTORY OF  SNOWBOARDING If you go back a long way the snowboard was actually called  "snufer". This was created by a surfer named Sherman Poppen. The snurfer was a surfboard for the snow. It went into a ceramical soon after it was made. Between 1965-1975 more than 1 million snurfers were sold for the price of $15 a piece.  Now let’s talk about some great snowboarders. Victoria Karine Ruby holds a record that no one in the snowboarding part of the olympics has yet come close to beating the record that she holds is 67 world cups. That’s crazy!! The first women event was held on the 10th of February ,a giant slalom on the snow of Mount Yakebitai. The 20-year-old French athlete won by some margin and wrote her name into the history books. Another great snowboarder is Chloe Kim.The California girl that went to the Olympics. It is a perfect, easy and oh-so-fitting description for the 17-year-old from Torrance, California. The Olympic snowboarder loves music...
