One -Room Schoolhouse

The fourth-graders are beginning a unit in the Library next week to prepare for their day at the Sunnyside School-house on the Beaver County Fairgrounds. The students will learn about life in the Oklahoma Panhandle in the early 1900's. They will use reference sources such as the World Book Online, the Beaver County Historical books, and the Internet to research schoolhouses, clothing, housing, food,and technology of the pioneer days. A mini-museum will be set up in the library so that the students can have hands-on experience with stereoscopes, butter churns, sad irons, washboards, early-day cameras and typewriters. They will sample hard candies such as horehound, lemon drops, sassafras, and licorice. The students will dress in old-fashioned clothing and bring their lunch in pails that they have made during their week of classes. The members of the Beaver County Historical society and the museum staff will be present to play games, provide a noon meal, assist during the day and to take the students on a tour of the museum. The fourth grade teachers, Mrs. Jennifer Oswald and Mrs. Shelley Noble, and the library media specialist, Mrs. Erma Costner, wish to thank the museum staff and our guest teacher for the day, Dr. Pauline Hodges, for making this unique experience possible for the students!
