the Little Red Schoolhouse
Today, we explored what it would have been like to be in school during the 1875. Our class had a small taste of what it was like to be students in a one-room schoolhouse. We learned about some of the responsibilities a teacher had towards her students. We also had a music class where we learned songs that children would have sung during this time period. One song was:
Row, Row, Row your boat
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily
Life is but a dream.
What do you think it would have been like attending classes in a one-room schoolhouse? Would you have been willing to walk several miles to come to school? Do you think school classes would have been harder or easier than classes today? Would you have liked writing with a quill pen?
Can you remember what a woman school teacher was called? What were some of the types of food that a student would have brought for lunch? What was your most favorite part of class? I look forward to reading your thoughts.
Gently down the stream.
Today we went to "the Little Red Schoolhouse" !!
ReplyDeleteIt was an amazing experience that i ever had :) .
I was very surprised by the old school and the traditional rules there and how the teacher should treated her students at class. It was similar little bit in my country.I really like the music class especially when we were singing together :
Row, Row, Row your boat ..
Gently down the stream..
Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily ..
Life is but a dream...
I like how teacher Dorinda act in class , i was in that period of time as a student in the first grade with Rayan and the other students in second grade ..
It was super grade experience :)
Thank you very much teacher Dorinda :)
It was super great
Deletewhen Dorinda started to teach us in class I thought she was teaching us for realty but I realized she was trying to show us how can they get their education at that period of time ,
Deletethx Dorinda you will be in trouble with us :)
I agree with lovely Khadijah it was really amazing class. I really like how teacher Dorinda act like a real real old teacher and i loved the song and how we song while teacher Dorinda played the piano
Deletehahaha the song is catchy. I like that song.

ReplyDeleteToday we went to the Little Red Schoolhouse it near the campus and it's a has a small class. There was so many interesting thing over there such as,
ReplyDeletethere is two doors one of them for the girls and the other for the boys. I like the small board and the book for the 1st grade.
I like that moments when we sing with teacher Dorinda and when she playing with the piano, It's memorable moments.
Also, there some thing attracted me about drinking water the teacher pour for the students a water and all of them drink from the same cup and she do that twice, in the beginning of the class and in the end of the class because there is some students take along time to arrived to their houses, so they need some power to get there.
you're right buddy,
Deletethe students that time had to do a lot of things with their families if they want to be alive but they were coming every day to attend their classes on time
they didn't care about the weather or anything
I like what Rayan said about the the education and how the student walked a long distance just to get the good education !!!
DeleteHeHe you was reading like kids you make me laugh when you didi it ^^
Deletehello every one :)
ReplyDeletewhats wrong with our pictures ?? lol
anyway, this trip was pretty awesome, we saw that how old people can get their education.
their school was so far and the students had to walk daily from their houses to the school which means all the students have same idea which is " whatever the price we need to be educated "
I agree with Dafi about how great old people want to learn and no matter what circumstances around the them, but they did it and made it a history thing.
DeleteImagine yourself waking more than to miles, in the winter and the snow covered the gerund, just to go to school. They really had a tough learning.
DeleteI like when Dafi said "whatever the price we need to be educated". We have to educate because education build our future.
ReplyDeleteYesterday we went to one of the oldest school in Bowling Green near to our building in BGSU University. I really really loved the classroom and how did they look. We sat on the beautiful old wood chairs and wrote in old small boards. Then we read old books. After that our lovely teacher start to sing for us a song then we did it again with piano. I encourage every one to take history class to see other cultures history.
ReplyDeleteShe had a really great voice and, she is a great teacher.
Delete"After that our lovely teacher start to sing for us a song then we did it again with piano" I was surprised that Dorinda could play piano.
DeleteI'm super agree with Maryah when she said " I encourage every one to take history class to see other cultures history" because it is really helpful to know other country culture
DeleteEspecially the area that we are living in :)
Yes the classroom was cozy. I want to visit there again
DeleteYesterday I took a great and ancient class. I went with my classmates to the Little Red Schoolhouse. When I went inside a felt like I am in an old movie. I drank water by the same cup with other studies. I studied with different level students. We took reading, writing, and music classes. We used our own tablets and chalks to writ. It was a wonderful experience.

"I took a great and ancient class" I agree with you it also had a lot of classic items.
DeleteYesterday, we went to an old class at Bowling Green State University. It was so classic. I like classic staff. We had fun there. Also, we sing two songs which were Oh Susanna and Row row row your boat. I think each student in our class had fun and enjoyed singing these song.
ReplyDeleteUhh YEAH Essa we really enjoyed when we sing Oh Susanna that was great song we had sing.
DeleteYesterday we went to the schoolhouse of Bowling Green Ohio and that was AWESOME we had a lot of fun there and we laugh a lot. I saw a lot of old school in movies but i had never visited one before and yesterday i finally visit one. I liked that place because it still has some of the history things there. I loved when Dorinda act like she teach us like kids HeHe and the most interesting thing was that our singing in that class. It was a lot of fun right there and I do want to see big old School.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mahmood when he said "Yesterday we went to the schoolhouse of Bowling Green Ohio and that was AWESOME we had a lot of fun there and we laugh a lot"
ReplyDeleteIt was fantastic day with our fabulous teacher special thank for you teacher for these lovely moments. I like when we sign and you played with the piano.
We went to the schoolhouse last week. It was wonderful experience to me because I was able to see and learn a lot of things. The structure of the classroom was very similar to that of korean classroom about 50 years ago. In addition, I learned that the teacher's role was very important; not only teaching, but also checking the condition of the classroom were so important. Students were enjoying the song!
