One Room School House Reading Lesson

Young scholars explore schools during the Colonial period. In this American history lesson, students participate in a simulation of school days in Colonial America. Young scholars visit a museum and use the schoolhouse as a setting for their simulation. Students follow a daily routine led by the teacher including saying the Pledge of Allegiance, reciting moral lessons, and reading in groups. Young scholars complete a Venn diagram comparing their Colonial school experience with the modern school day.
