I learned that Milwaukee was very different about two hundred years. I also learned that Gertie the duck was a duck that was found under the Wisconsin Ave. bridge. Gertie and her ducklings were very special to Milwaukee at that hard time.
It surprised me that it was not that long ago that the things we saw were actually happening. I bet it seems that we didn’t learn anything but we learned so much. For example I learned that a drug store then used leeches!
I think that our field trip was an important thing for all of us. It is definitely a field trip all schools should take.
Learning the history of our community really helps to understand the present. Imagine if we lived in Europe where cities and buildings are often 500-1000 years old!
WOW
I agree it would be CRAZY
This was a great field trip. I appreciate the opportunity to learn about landmarks around Milwaukee that I have seen but never really knew about before.
