1912

The other day we headed to Blythe, Georgia for a field trip with our fellow homeschoolers to an old one room school house. They spent the day there learning about life in 1912 and experiencing what a day of school was like back then.

The school teacher ringing the bell -

Reading from a book George Washington wrote about manners.

practicing his penmanship with a feather quill pen.
Love this wooden car
The children each had a cup to dip water into with their lunch
the front of the school
washing hands
The couple who own the school live across the street at this beautiful place.
I think Ryan enjoyed his day there!! He was worried about the spelling bee and did not want to be a part of it - but in the end he stood up there and did a great job!
cracking pecans
the youngest student there.
heading to lunch
To end the day - a group shot of all the kids.
