Think of them as a team of grown-ups who work together to make sure that schools are good places for kids to learn. Members of school boards decide things like what subjects kids will learn, how schools should spend

In the 1600s, the Wampanoag Nation had about 70 thousand people living in 67 villages. This map shows some of them. The large print shows the Wampanoag name of a village. The small print gives the modern name.

hen the Pilgrims arrived at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, they met native peoples who had lived in the area for thousands of years. Their name, Wampanoag, means “People of the First Light.” This name was chosen because they lived on the east coast and they received the light of dawn before anyone to the west.

An air bladder inside a helmet softens the impact of a hit on the head.

by Kid Scoop Student Reporter, Murphy Roberts

The rst football helmets were made of cotton.

A radio in the helmet helps a coach communicate with players in the locker room.

The first helmets were merely soft leather coverings that were meant primarily to protect the ears. 1920s

1930s

1940s

1950s

In 1939, the John T. Riddell Company of Chicago introduced the first all-plastic football helmet.

Soft leather head coverings became hard leather helmets. Chin straps and decorations were added. Helmets became mandatory for NFL players.

A single face bar was added to plastic helmets. In 1956, a radio helmet was introduced which allowed coaches to communicate with players on the field.

Today, the NFL requires visors to be transparent.

The rst football head coverings were designed to simply protect a player’s ears.

Helmets and double bar face masks were introduced. All players in the NFL wore face masks. 1960s

Riddell introduced a helmet with an air bladder inside the helmet to absorb energy and soften the impact of a hit on the head. 1970s

First polycarbonate helmets and protective visors were added. In 1998, the NFL required visors to be transparent. 1980s - 1990s

With improved face masks, cushioning against impact, and chin straps, helmets are now designed to reduce concussions. TODAY

Imagine if what you had to trade was milk . On a hot day, your milk could spoil and you would be out of luck.

ver the years, people tried using different kinds of things as money, such as shells, feathers, and beads. Small lumps of metal such as gold and silver became popular because they were easy to carry. But they had to be weighed every time they were used. Around 700 B.C., King Croesus of Lydia (present day Turkey) had the idea of stamping metal into coins. About 500 years later, the Chinese invented paper money.

Or, what if you had rocks to trade? They could be very heavy to carry around the market.

Mornings are a busy time for every parent. But don’t let your kids skip breakfast — or your child’s grades could be aected. Evidence suggests that eating breakfast helps kids learn. After fasting all night, a developing body (and brain) needs a fresh supply of glucose — the brain’s basic fuel. To keep your brain powered up, the rst meal of the day should be rich in protein and good carbohydrates. Choose the whole-grain variety that will sustain you for a long spell rather than the sugary kind that will push your blood sugar up, then let it fall.
