This program comes to you!
If your bus money is limited, this is the program for you. A Museum staff person will visit your classroom (Lambton County and north Chatham/Kent only) and introduce your students to school life in the early days of rural Ontario.
“Life in a One-Room School” looks at student life in early one-room schools. Hands-on activities are an important part of this program and include writing with a quill pen, doing a lesson on a slate and (for grades 3 and up) an attempt at an early drawing lesson.
