One-Room School (Historic Communities)
This newly revised edition describes how building a school was a priority once an early community became established. Students of all ages shared one teacher and the same four walls year after year. A One-Room School describes how the teacher, a respected member of the community, was entrusted with the responsibility of teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic. Children will enjoy seeing inside a one-room schoolhouse and discovering: what subjects students learned, how children were disciplined by the teacher, games boys and girls enjoyed during recess, games, songs, and activities they can participate in.
With the appeal of a field trip to a living history museum, these books provide countless details about life in another time period. With a combination of drawings, photographs, maps, and narrative stories the past is recreated in full-color. Daily life and activities are emphasized with sections on chores, going to school, clothing, travel, work, fun, various rooms in a house, barns and outbuildings, and so much more. If you've wondered how clothes were washed, food prepared, spare time spent, types of work to do, and maybe some more interesting details like how faces and hands were washed without indoor bathrooms, these books will help you understand life and living in the 1800s. 32 pgs, pb ~ Janice
