As many of you know, I work at a college in a division that includes the education department.
Today, I happened to be in the classroom where one of the professors was telling about what it was like to teach in a one-room school as she was teaching about working in a multi-grade classroom.
As she described what it was like to bring lunches in a "bucket" with no plastic sandwich bags or plastic of any kind; the teacher coming early to start the fire in the coal burning stove so the children could be warm during the school day; the older children helping with the younger children, I had to hold myself down from jumping up and saying, "I remember when...!".
Afterward, I had to tell her that I knew from experience what it was like to be taught in a "multi-grade" setting! I showed her the one-room school house blog showcasing the schools in our corner of Nebraska/Kansas/Colorado and she was excited to hear about "OUR" stories.
