The girls curtsied and the boys bowed as they greeted our school m'arm "Miss Hill" before we began our school experience. Inside, girls and boys sat separately and they were all given names of students from back in 1840.
Students wrote on their slates, read a story, and did some arithmetic too!
We also made observations of how our school is different from a school in the 1800's. Even the map of our country is very different!
We had a great trip back in time and the students are looking forward to returning in 3rd grade for a longer experience to learn more about how students learned long ago.
Then we were off to the library where we read a story with Miss Grace,
before exploring the library with Misss Vickie and each other.
If you do not already have a library card be sure to stop by to get one--the students loved to see all you can borrow from the library and are excited about the summer reading program too. Look for more information on that coming home in folders soon!
It was a great trip to explore these Hooksett treasures!
