The Little Red Schoolhouse






What a step back in time! The Little Red Schoolhouse is a unique piece of memorabilia housed on the campus of Bowling Green State University. Today we explored what a child may have experienced in the 1880's during the time when the Great Black Swamp was being conquered. What would was a dunce? What did students write on when doing their lessons? Would you have liked to have been a student in a one room schoolhouse? What was the best part of the visit to the schoolhouse? Would you have like to be a marm in the Little Red Schoolhouse?







Don't forget Monday, to bring a lunch and meet in the parking lot A at 12:30....I hope you all have a super weekend and I am looking forward to reading all your reflections and bio-poems! Dorinda

  1. It was a very nice visit to and old school in the Black Swamp, this small school is remarcable because has the atmosphere of one hundred years ago, and shows very well how hard and heroic was this time.

  2. Very nice Rodolfo! I agree! The building is a remarkable place. When I am there, I feel in touch with my grandmother and the rest of my anscestors who settled eastern Pennsylvania. It is a profound feeling of wonder and confusion. I am continually amazed by how much people sacraficed to get an education.

  4. It was a wonderful experience and the class i have had. We bacame old students and experienced many things that old songs, old desk, old stove and so on.
    Dunce would be a student who did not obey the teacher's order or was a stupid person. They wrote about the homeworks or what they learned on the small tablet. Everything was the best part of the visit. If i have to choose on of them, it will be old books. I found them in a drawer and saw many books which was used in the past.

  7. When I went to The Little Red Schoolhouse with my teacher and classmate I saw the difference between the school in the past and now .I like this time in the past because no paper they only use bord for write their homework and I think they didn't have a lot of homework becuase they also work in their farm . The best part of the visit to the schoolhouse was the bookcase , its has the old book .
    I Would like to be a marm in the Little Red they didn't have a lot of stuff for teaching in class.

  8. The little red house is very simple but practical, small but not crowded.the over a hundred house maintain to today, that is not easy thing.More difficult to imagine is that this small house is actually a school at that time
    Compared to the conditions at that time of the class, we are now much better learning environment.
