Rendezvous in 4th Grade
Ms. Cartwright had the kids imagine what it would be like to trade their goods if they were a fur trader, supplier of food, tools or, or clothes. The kids got the hang of trading and making sure they would make it alive to the next season. Some did have to eat their mocassins and that was truly a moment of realizing how much they don't think about food-- a good thing!
Lots of thinking and haggling-- good to see them thinking about the details of the chapter about fur traders. Life long ago brought perspective for today-- Yay for History lessons!🌎
