🏺 Bartering in Mesopotamia! 4th graders in Mrs. Alexis’s class brought history to life today! Students became farmers, weavers, carpenters, and more as they bartered goods. They quickly learned that their own community (group) couldn’t provide everything they needed, but trading with other settlements opened the door to new goods, ideas, and inventions! 🌾🧺🪵 Hands-on learning makes history so much more fun! 🤎
