Mrs. McAvoy shared stories about being a student in a classroom that had all the grades together with one teacher. She spoke about lunches being brought in metal pails, earning merit cards for being the most quiet student for a whole week, sharing a dipper for a drink of water, and having your teacher live with you for a week or two. |

Each class participated in a bee. One class was challenged to a spelling bee while the other tested their knowledge of math by solving addition word problems. |

Mr. Coffill guided the children in creating a sketch of the exterior of the schoolhouse and its surroundings. The students found it delightful to travel back in time on a glorious fall afternoon. |
