The students had the opportunity to rotate between 3 different sessions at the museum. During the first session we learned all about Native Americans and how they prospered on the prairie.
From there we moved to the Buffet Grocery Store. Our guide there had worked at the store as a teenager and told fantastic stories. The students were very observant and asked great questions like why everything only cost a few cents then and now it costs us lots of dollars!
Our final station was life on the prairie for pioneers. The students were shocked at some of the chores that kids had to do ... (Empty chamber pots?? Pick up buffalo chips??) At the end they all decided they'd rather life in the present vs the past.
As you can see - we had a great day!!
