Waaaay Back to School

← Continue shopping

de-waybackHop on board the Kid Scoop Time Machine and travel back to a schoolhouse in 1870 where students arrived barefoot or on horseback, where the teacher made soup for lunch, and where the “three R’s”—Reading, wRiting, and aRithmatic—were all you needed to know. Children will learn how students used hornbooks instead of paper, what games they played at recess, and what activities filled their school day. Welcome aboard! Let’s time travel!

In this issue students will:

  • understand similarities and differences between now and long ago
  • practice “three R’s”—Reading, wRiting, and aRithmetic skills
  • use the newspaper to find words with silent letters
  • practice addition
  • follow written directions for playing a game
