Pioneer Schoolhouse


Our Social Studies unit in second grade this month is Pioneers. An annual visit to a local one room school house is part of our curriculum. So last Friday we all dressed the part and headed out of town a ways to this quaint little school house. We taught the second graders for a morning using slates, old time readers, and lots of other things. We had a blast! Here are some pictures of our morning. The weather was beautiful too. I kept thinking that I was on the set of Little House on the Prairie.

The kids loved running in the grass in their costumes.
Students hard at work.The parents joined us at lunch and took some group shots in front of the schoolhouse.

We rang the bell and the kids lined up-boys on one side, girls on the other.
We began the morning by raising the flag in front of the school and saying the pledge.
Looks authentic, doesn't it?
