Long Ago School

As part of our study of comparing life today and long ago, we pretended our classroom was in the past.  Emilie, our UVM intern, acted as a teacher from long ago, and the children had fun acting as students from long ago too.  We lined up to enter the classroom, sat in rows, read in unison from our hornbook and Primer book and had a spelling bee, and made our manners when class was done (bowing for boys and curtseying for girls).  We were curious to  find out what happened when the rules from the strict  long ago teacher were not followed.  Ask your child what happened.  Our last picture shows one of our students enjoying his acting role.
