We had such a great day of learning. Â Centennial Village had so many activities for us to explore.
We’ve been learning about the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes. Â Students were able to step into a tipi and imagine this as their home.
While other students were busy learning how to gamble like the tribes. Â According to our teacher at Centennial Village, some Native Americans used this “gambling game” to trade valuable items.
The 4th graders learned about the Civil War and actually became soldiers in a company. Â We learned how to load and fire a musket, how to march, what soldiers may have eaten, what their uniform was like, and students even crawled into the tiny tents soldiers slept in.
