Spring students relive days of one-room schoolhouses

Third-graders at Providence Classical School took a field trip to the 1898 Schoolhouse Museum in League City.

Students had the opportunity to practice pen-and-ink handwriting, solve math problems on a slate, read from a 100-year-old primer and participate in a spelling bee.

In a press release, third-grade teacher Sherilyn Lewis said, "the students are fascinated with the concept of all ages of children in one room and the incredibly disciplined atmosphere that the young teachers required of the students back in the early 1800s."

Students had read Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder, which talked about her husband's youth and the one-room schoolhouse he attended, before taking the field trip.
