They started out their day practicing handwriting with an ink and nib pen. They moved on to other subjects including orthography (spelling), mental math, history, reading and geography. The children had to bring a lunch that would have been eaten back in the day, minus any "luxuries" such as Lunchables or using sandwich baggies. Recess included playing period games and they had a super fun merry-go-round. The school day ended with a Spelling Bee and all the kids were awarded participation certificates.
Before we left, we toured the museum on their grounds. It was a really neat museum that told of Oklahoma's unique and rich history.
Here's pics from our fun day...
