At Cahokia we learned about Native Americans that lived hundreds of years ago! We saw a video and got to climb the 118 steps to the top of the great Monks Mound!

Comments about the Field Trip:

"We saw some monds made by the Cahokia people.  The one made for the Chief was 100 feet high. The arch was fun! It felt like we were going back in time when we saw the monds!" --Max

"I liked to see how their calendar works.  The arch was big and felt like metal.  The bus was fun!" -- Michael

"Today was really good.  I liked climbing up the mound.  I thought the writing on the rock was cool.  I also like the bear in the Arch Museum." -- Stephen

" This is my to St. Louis.  I like going to see the arch and I liked the movie.  I also like Cahokia especially the museum and the mound.  I love the charter bus! I like seeing the big huge Monk Mound!" --Tibet
