Ah, the days of autumn leaves, sharpened pencils and new notebooks are upon us. Of course, getting outfitted for school these days means expensive backpacks, gel pens and notebooks of a different kind! Still, in the p4A database, you can reassemble a classic one-room school – straight from the pages of Laura Ingalls Wilder or from your own memories!
First, you’ll need a schoolmaster’s desk, and we certainly have an assortment. Ring the school bell, and students can file in with their lunch pails and take their seats. You can select readers and primers for your pupils, teach geography with your pointer and a wall map, and allow them to practice their lessons on their slates. You can all have lunch around the schoolroom stove. Of course, just in case it’s not as idyllic as the school pictured above, you might want to bring your ruler!
