The fourth-grade classes took a step back in time with a visit to the St. John Township District one-room School House #2 at the beginning of the month. Their day was filled with learning what it was like to be in school in 1872. They started the day off making manners and introducing themselves, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and the school rules. Then, they went into the five finger lesson, reading, working on vocabulary, ciphering (another word for math), and a spelling bee. Later they attended recess and worked on penmanship using slates and filling out their certificates. To end the day the students learned about the history of the town.
