In 1816, there were no schools for the deaf in America. Several people started a few schools, but in the end all of the schools closed. There were too many problems. The first people to succeed were Laurent Clerc and Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. They opened their school in 1817, and the school did not close. At that time it was the only school for deaf children in America!

There are many kinds of food in the world. Scientists learn a lot about them. They say that there are some kinds of food people must eat every day. For example, people must eat some green and yellow vegetables. We shouldn’t eat too much meat. People also need to eat some fruits, bread and rice. Of course our bodies need some water and milk.
Scientists say people in different countries and different places eat different kinds of food. They cook food in different ways. Different people eat at different times.
