During the semester the kids made silhouettes, learned what boys and girls wear and made their own flags. |
They made a map of the US in 1892 and made lunch pails and napkins for taking lunch to and 1892 school. |
The teacher shared stories from books used then. |
These flags turned out really well! They used just the right amount of stars. |
Lunch is ready to go- no plastic (except for the water bottles- I cheated on that one) and not even peanut butter which was scarce back then. |
Our pupils ready for a day at 1892 school |
The kids gathered out front this morning. Aren't all those dresses sweet? |
The schoolhouse is octagonal in shape. The original house was a four sided wooden structure which burned down. They rebuilt it in brick so that it would not burn. |
A good time was held by all, but the weather was a disappointment for sure. It is cold and misty/rainy/foggy today and all week so the kids were inside for recess and lunch. Reportedly, it was COLD inside the schoolhouse and the stove was broken- no heat! You would think this is not an issue in May, but it is!

That looks like a great day. You do so many great things with you children and always smiling! I love your blog it is helping me tremendously. Blessings, Renelle
What a great adventure. Looks like a lot of fun even without peanut butter. The dresses are so cute!
What a fun experience! My girls would love to do something like that! It's very cold here in the deep South, too, believe it or not. I think the temps may have broken records for May. I'm ready for sunshine and warm weather!
This looks like sooo much fun!!Your co-op families or maybe just homeschoolers in your area do a lot of neat things. We do not have anything like this in my area.It inspires me to try to start a better group. Sure do wish we lived closer to you. Thanks for replying to my question.;o)
Sounds great-would fit in well with "Three names".
Peanut butter is funny-it is banned in UK schools now as so many people are allergic to peanuts. Presumably they would have had homemade cheese or meat in sandwiches?
