final day of the video

Today was a very short day due to the 2-hour delay because it was so flipping called in the morning, they had to push it back just so students at the bus stops don't get hyperthermia. Me personally I wish everyday was like this and I'm most students and teachers would agree as well. Anyway, today in class we finished up the video which was only like 15 mins left so it wasn't too much left. It basically just wrapped everything up in the video and said some things that were already said in the beginning of the video. We also got to eat this bread that Mr. Schick got us because it included most of the grains that we’ve been talking. Those grains include wheat, barley, cornmeal, etc. I thought the bread tasted pretty good. It definitely had a different taste to it since I’ve never tasted barley in bread. Overall todays class was short and quick which I love and wish it was like that all the time.

Today’s video notes:

• Animal domestication: raise the animals themselves
• Goats and sheep were the first animals to be domesticated

• not one of those animals are in Guinea, Australia, or Africa 
• the llamas come from South America
• the other 13 are from Asia, Europe, and North America
• cows, pigs, goats, and sheep are from the middle east
• A place in the middle east is known as the fertile crescent because of the fertile land and all of the animals
• you need a productive community, so you don’t have to worry about food 

Basically, today we just watched the same video and took notes on it like the last 2 times. I hope we get a lot of snow tomorrow so I can go sledding for the first time this year and I hope schools are cancelled.
