What we learned

Today in class we talked about the prehistoric era, learning about how people lived their lives before people could write things down. We focused on the Paleolithic Age and the Neolithic Age as well as agriculture(farming). Paleo meaning old and Neo, new. We talked about some of the inventions that came about in that era, however, it took thousands of years to accomplish these tools. These tools, wheel and plow were made for farming. It allowed for more crops, at a faster rate. With the stone age, stones were used for other things such as weaponry and carpentry.

The beginning of a great class

We started out with learning each other's names and Mr. Shick gave some of us funny nicknames. He gave me the name 'Both" because I told him Matt/Mattson was fine and he could call me by both names and he just called me "Both". He told us the things we need for next class and overall I think this is going to be a fun class. I cant wait to experience the rest of the year in West civ, learning, having fun.
