Back in Time to the American Revolution!!

The 5th grade CCATS had a chance to journey back in time to the birth of our great nation! We took a field excursion to the American Village, where the history of the formation of our country comes to life! The students learned about the major people who played a role in the development of our country, our independence, and our constitution. They also participated in the learning of social rituals of the 1700's! The American Village took us from the time of Colonization by Britain to the formation of our government and first president!

We learned about how hard it was to hit a target with a musket! 

Seeing a musket fired was really neat!
