A Day Back in Time....

Today we adventured back in time, to the year 1899.  We had the opportunity to visit the local one-room schoolhouse.  It was a fun day to dress up, attend class and eat foods from that period of time. We read from a McGuffey reader, practiced writing with an ink and quill, participated in a spelling bee and  learned some new recess games.  It was a wonderful day! 

Learning the words to the 1899 pledge

 



Uh-oh!  The two at the board had to demonstrate what would happen if they were talking...  :-)



Getting water for lunch

Lunch time!

Our school for the day

This was after lunch, about 20 minutes before we left.  They were exhausted! :-)
