The Bell School


Last week we attended a one room school house and ventured back to the year of 1912,

back to a time when prayer was a way of beginning your day in school,

back to a time when quill pens and ink blotting pads were a means of communicating,

back into a time when children were encouraged to share their work daily with their peers.

The children enjoyed the classic spelling bee,

we learned what the Sears Roebuck catalogue was used for - do you know???

The boys participated in 1912 chores,

and then it was time to wash-up, complete with lye soap.

Lunch was served.
And recess was enjoyed!
A great day was had by all!
