The post of AWESOMEST

Welcome to the blog of awesomest!
In this blog we will be learning many amazing things including world trade. We stared out making a map of were different things come from, we learned that more things came from China than everywhere else combined!When there were 9 things from China in our survey, there were only 2 from Mexico, 1 from Japan, 1 from the U.S. and 1 from Guatemala.So 55.5% of things came from China. That's more than half!!!! Also, what a coincidence, both of our shoes came from China. In fact, almost everyone in the class had shoes from China!

But enough about today's China! Here are some facts about ancient China.


Did you know China was the first to invent the wheel and the calendar!

When Marco Polo came to China, The Khan pretended to make Ice Cream by having his people run up a mountain to get snow, which they topped with fresh fruit!! Yum?
