One Room Schoolhouse

Megan adores the Little House books. You can find her making a covered wagon out of kitchen chairs and blankets, galloping through the yard on her horse, pulling out her rifle to hunt and building a homestead with Lincoln Logs. I received notice that there was a field trip to a one room schoolhouse with costumes. Yes! Just the encouragement needed to make a 1800's outfit. Thanks to my wonderful mom this became a reality.

 Saying Megan was delighted is an understatement.

 Lunch was packed in a cute pail and it was time to hit the road.

This desk is original to the schoolhouse. It was the only one they could salvage. The cool thing is that it is mixed in with the reproductions and is still in use today.
 

 They used pen and ink for all of their school work.

 Can you guess the state?

Here a little history of the pledge. The above version was used from 1892-1922. In 1923 my flag was changed to the flag and United Sates was added. It wasn't until 1954 that under God was added. Interesting!

 Everyone made a batch of homemade butter to enjoy on crackers.

This has been declared the best field trip ever! Her favorite part was recess where they played with wooden toys and tried out stilts.

The third grade class of 1894 gives me hope for the future!

May your day be filled with joy and contentment!
