Hey Mr.Nelson! i forgot, what r the five themes of georgraphy????
Great meeting with you today-what can we do about the missing work? Is it possible for him to make it up?
I swear I remember doing at least half of that homework! So creepy! I especially remember that 5 Themes of Geography for some reason… oh yeah.
That was close to the date I forgot my homework last year , so after that I payed really close attention to everything in Social Studies (I’d say it worked cuz I only forgot my homework once after that but u never found out cuz u changed the due date at the last minute 
) With the five themes of geography my social studies teacher talked about that, she has us do really weird hand signals for them. Human environment interaction is ur hands separate and then interlocked and wiggling. Location is ur pointer finger on ur palm. I forgot the rest though. For some reason this year my memory isn’t working as well as it did last year which is not good cuz that’s the only reason I got good grades in any of my classes, so I’m gonna have to get in the habit of STUDYING… bleh… hope Catalina was fun!
I love the hand signals, Brooky!!!!!! keep studying hard this year. We had a blast in Catalina. Check out the photos at thurstoncatalina.wordpress.com
We miss you here!
Mr. Nelson
GOOD HOMEWORK MR.NELSON
THIS IS MY HOMEWORK!!!! One of the Sumerian inventions was the plow. The plow was helpful because it grounded up the soil so it helped crops grow instead of planting it on hard soil. Also, since the soil was grounded up right, water can easily sink in. Since it is hard for people to pull the plow, it was usally pullen by a stronger animal, such as a ox. It was also used for turning over crops, cutting, and lifting.
Sumerians was the first civilization. They had had social classes like upper class, middle class, and lower class. Upper class was the king and priest. Middle class was merchants and farmers. Finally lower class were slaves. they also invented tools such as the plow, whell, and potters whell. They were all very use full. Something very inportant was cuneiform, or the way they write, but they started out with something called pictographs.
ABOVE IS LOR’S HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Mr. Nelson! Here is my Wednesday night’s homework.
One Sumerian invention was the plow. The plow was a very important invention that made farming much easier. The first plows were just digging sticks with handles that could be pulled or pushed. This was first done by humans and later done by animals. The plow would break up hard soil, making farming easier. It also allowed for water to sink in deeper, giving plants and roots more water.
One Sumerian invention was the plow. The plow was a magnificent invention. It helped them so much when the ranchers were farming. The plow was pulled by two oxen or one. The farmers used it to make the soil soft and moist. When the soil is soft and moist, it is easier to plant seeds and grow crops. This invention was the most popular with the sickel. But the sickel wasn’t the most helpful invention.
HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sumerian Technology
The plow was a very important tool invented by the Sumerians. It was designed to help farmers by breaking up hard soil. The original plows were digging sticks with handles. They were pulled by people, first, then later on, animals(cattle, sheep, horses). The plow was a great invention because, since it broke up hard soil, water could sink deeper into the earth and the roots of plants and crops could get more out of irrigation. The plow was a huge success to farmers in Sumer.
