Here are some of their reflection:
\nI learned that people used five candles in each room back then. \u2013 Daisy
\nI learned that people built houses out of wood. \u2013 Emerson
\nI learned back then people built houses with wood. \u2013 Lizzy
\nLong ago, people didn\u2019t have electricity so they used candles made of wax. \u2013 Kyle
\nWe played an old rope game. Somebody is inside the rope and that person touches my hand, then I let go. Then I hold on to the rope again. \u2013 Trace
\nI learned that long ago, the houses were close together. We also played a rock game. We flipped the rock and tried to catch it. \u2013 Scarlett
\nI learned that long ago, people played rope games because they didn\u2019t have many toys. \u2013 Lisa
\nI learned that people and animals live close so when it is cold, people can feed them and milk the cows. \u2013 Fatima
\nAnimals lived in the small house that was next to the big house because the snow was cold. \u2013 Liam
\nI noticed that people and animals lived in houses because it was too cold for animals to be outside. – Michael<\/p>\n\n
