Description
This book discusses the school life of children who lived in the thirteen colonies, including lessons, books, teachers, examinations and special days.
Quick Summary
Step back in time and discover what school was really like for kids in the thirteen colonies, from one-room schoolhouses to hornbooks and teachers who definitely did not mess around. Kids will love comparing their own homework battles to colonial lessons, where forgetting your ABCs might literally mean getting switched and memorizing lessons on a hornbook that had just one page. If your kid loves Magic Tree House adventures or the Who Was series, they'll devour this peek into colonial school life. Perfect for curious readers in grades 3 through 6, especially ages 8 to 11.
