This is one of our very favorite fieldtrips! We go back in time to 1912 and have school at the One Room School House. The teacher is a former teacher from the one room school and she transports the students back in time. They wear penifoils and suspenders, put their lunch in a pail (homemade bread, ham slice, hard-boiled eggs, a slice of cheese, and a piece of fruit), write on slates, read from primers, and play games at recess. The day begins at 9:00 and ends around 1:00. The children had grade appropriate assignments in math, reading, history, spelling, and penmanship. They even got to write with a quill and ink.
