Our fourth field trip (on April 14th) started with a trip to the Old Schoolhouse, where we were transported back in time to 1854.
Boys on one side, girls on the other (and lashes for anyone who dares to cross over)
Iysha demonstrated one of the punishments, holding books in each outstretched arm...
...Mary showed us the dunce seat in the corner (thankfully with no dunce cap)...
...and Nate got the "honor" of standing with his nose in a circle on the blackboard.
(thankfully none of these kiddos deserved any of the punishments!)
Other kids got to read from the primers...
...and write on chalkboard slates
We also got to use the pump in the yard!
After the Old Schoolhouse, we went for a walk near the river and did some sketching. We had recently learned the art term "perspective" and worked on some perspective art!
Nate took his work seriously and did the below drawing:
After our Riverwalk, we went to the Crocker Art Museum!
We had lunch in the Crocker courtyard, and then walked back for our Old Sacramento scavenger hunt!
What a GORGEOUS day!
