Silk Road Brings History to Life

For trade: Glass in Kashkar. Tea in Tashkent. Jewels in Herat. Perfume in Baghdad, wool and gold in Damascus.

Fourth graders live what they’ve learned about ancient civilizations when they travel the “Silk Road” as monks, merchants, and artisans, moving through Saint David's hallways—transformed to represent ancient trade centers. At each stop, they exchange goods and stories, gaining a deeper understanding of cultural exchange through active, imaginative learning.
