Back in Time


We are studying early America in our homeschool and had the opportunity to send the boys to a day of school in a one room school house. They joined 30 other children for a full day of school, bringing their lunch wrapped in brown paper and tucked into woven baskets. Discipline was very strict. Children stood and sat when the teacher rang a bell and no talking was aloud. Each student read a short biography of a child that was a student of the school when it opened in 1917.
The kids loved it and can't wait to do it again.
