We are living in the year A.D. 2013...or 2013 C.E. The First Americans may have crossed the Bering Strait land bridge more than 15,000 years ago, or 15,000 B. C. E. or Before the Common Era. The choice of which of these time references to use is one of great debate.
As we learn more about the Land and People Before Columbus, post your thoughts about measuring time on timelines using B. C.-Before Christ- and A.D.-In the Year of Our Lord- or B.C.E. or C.E. What do you think about Beringia and the other theories as to how the first people came to populate the Americas?
If you have questions or comments during class we do not have time for, post them here and I will try to answer them. Keep track of your ideas in your notes on the Jot Thoughts pages.
Until next time, embrace the past and reach for the future. Happy Blogging Fifth Grade Class of A.D. 2014 C.E.!
