The One-Room Schoolhouse
Imagine sitting in a classroom surrounded by students of all ages and being taught by the same teacher year after year? Sounds wild, huh, but that is what students once experienced.
SUDUKO
Back in the 1800s, most schools were small one-room buildings called "schoolhouses." Each schoolhouse had just one teacher to teach first through eighth grade. Students would come to the schoolhouse by foot and by horse. There was very little paper at the time, so students would do their work on slates with slate pencils. Along with their studies, students would help the teachers take care of the schoolhouse and the surrounding yard.
