It’s almost time for school to start.
Do you remember your 1st day of school?
The first schools were one room country
schoolhouses. Children would walk to the
nearest school sometimes a mile or more
away from home. Some students would
ride a pony keeping it in a little shed or
fenced in area near the school while in
classes.
The schoolhouse was a small building that
was used for school classes-community
events- meetings and voting.
Morning farm chores were done first then
the children would get ready for school.
There were cows to be milked and animals
to be cleaned, fed and watered. Children
also had other chores such as husking the
corn in the field before school began.
Children would begin their day with the
Pledge of Allegiance one student would
lead the Pledge. The students would stand
by the desk with their right hand across
their chest.
At times the community would join the
children in special events and they would
have gatherings at the schoolhouse to
provide support.
Have fun reminiscing about your first day of
school.
