Experience “A day in the life of a country school”.

October 23, 2023 –  Home School Teachers and their students enjoyed a field trip to the one-room schoolhouse!  Students dressed in era appropriate clothing to the school and brought a simple snack.

Lessons

They enjoyed participating in putting up the flag, hearing history of the school and era, having a 1900’s reading and math lesson, practicing cursive, learning old fashioned games, and ringing the big bell in the bell tower!  They had an opportunity to purchase old-time souvenirs from our “General Store!” It was a fabulous experience for all and the teachers highly recommend the field trip.
