In the first part of June we took a field trip to see a pioneer school house. It was really a neat experience. The kids really enjoyed it. Here are some pictures from that trip.
Work was done on slates. The kids all got to practice their writing on slates and with a quill pen on paper. The desks has ink wells with ink in them. 
Each of the grades were required to study their lessons individually and then give their answers orally in front of the class. JJ (my youngest) is pictures above and JL (my middle child) is pictured below. JJ was the only one in his class and we were all amazed he went up alone. He did not want me to 'tag along'. He felt he was just as big as the big kids and the big kids didn't take Mom up to the front of the class - so neither did he. By the way - he got all his answers correct. Impressive. It was a math lesson and he did very well - both speaking in front of the class and with figuring out his math problems. Good job, JJ!!
