I learned that the wagon wheels were made of iron. That is new learning for me after seven years of studying the Oregon Trail! I found two fancy words in Roughing It on the Oregon Trail...unspoiled and ruts. Good luck sharing your wows, background knowledge, new learning and wonders! I am excited to read your brain tracks!
ReplyDeletemy dad had the daily pup!!!
DeleteI learned that families would build homes, the first people would settle in willmatte Oregon, the close were made by hand, they slept in their close, some people traveled west because of what happened in 1873.
ReplyDeleteI learned that pioneers had a hard time building their houses. I had background knowledge on their new lives which were very different from their lives in the East. The land had more new crops. Along the way, Native Americans sometimes helped. Towards the end, the Native Americans started being cross with the Pioneers, because the pioneers were killing buffalo and only eating a little bit of the animal.
ReplyDeleteI learnd that the pioneers mane dish for breakfast was pancakes and beans. Most of the time you would walk. They would circle up the wagons at nighttime for protection
ReplyDeleteHi! I did not know that there was a panic in 1837. The poor pioneers had to wake up at 4.00 am! The pioneers kids walked! Goodbye!
ReplyDeleteI did not no about the panic ether.
DeleteAberham Lincoln here. I learned that when you got there it was super hared to survive when you got to Oregon may be harder than the trip. Cutting down the trees for timber and farm land was very important. If you didn't have any timber in your area you would build your house out of grass blocks. Getting fuel for a fire was also very important if you didn't have any timber around you simply yous buffalo chips. (buffalo chips is also buffalo poo!) By
ReplyDeleteThe pioneers ate pancakes, beans, and bacon. The pioneers were scared of Natives. Almost all the pioneers walked on the trail. 400 pioneers died by Indian attacks. I there was a depression in 1837. See you later! 3-P ROCKS! :)
ReplyDeleteI learned that their lives were different because there were no taxes, open land and there was supplies to survive. I learned A LOT of people died on the trail. The wagons were dark. I thought it would be lit up by the sun. Most of the trail you had to walk. Elderly people went in the wagons. Bye! See you tomorrow! :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. The daily puppy is so cute! :)
Deletemy dad had it!!!
DeleteI didn't know that there was a depression in 1837. I did not know that pancakes were called: cow bellies. about 1 in 10 people died. The wagon wheel were made of Iron so if you got crushed it would hurt, it would hurt REAL bad. I learned that when they got to Oregon they would look for wood so they could build a house if, if you couldn't find any wood you would have to build your house dirt slabs. They wanted to take the long trip to Oregon so they could get cheap or free farm land.

DeleteHi guys. Some of the facts I learned today were. Their clothes were hand made until the 1850's. Their wagons wheels were made out of iron. They played the harmonica and the fiddle. After I heard about the depression I felt miserable for the pioneers. By guys 3-P ROCKS! =}
ReplyDeleteThis book was interesting- I learned a lot! I learned that they had to sew by hand until 1850 when the sewing machine was invented. At night they would put their wagons in a circle so that no coyotes or indians would get in. Oh, BK they had to walk...but when they got really tired they got in the wagon. Thats all. See you later!
ReplyDeletePeople cleared the land to make homes when they got there. All of their clothes were made by hand because the sewing machine was not invented yet. They ate bacon and beans for dinner and bacon and pancakes for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that pioneers had bacon and pancakes or hoecakes for breakfast! I wonder who came up with the name 'pancakes'? When they came to stop, the Pioneers drove their wagons into a circle to defend themselves from native americans who roamed the area, wolves, and other dangers of the trail. Pioneers also used the inside of the circle for dancing and to play music. Some would play the fiddle and others played the harmonica.The sewing machine was not yet invented, so all clothing was maid by hand until 1850. When I first heard about the Great Depression, I had no clue what it was. I still have to get some more facts on that one. And I think that's all! Bye! 3-P IS TOTALLY AWESOME!:)
ReplyDeleteAnd so is Hazel Stewart! [:)}
ReplyDeleteI have read the book before so all of the facts were bk.
ReplyDeleteI want to learn more about the trans continental railroad.
I want to know if they brought dogs? I liked everything about the book. I knew about the great depression and how people left from Missouri a town called Independence to go on the trail.
I learned that sewing machine's were invented in the 1850's so they had to make clothes by hand. They ate beans and bacon for dinner and pancakes and bacon for breakfast. They also put their wagons in a circle for protection at night. 3-P ROCKS :}
