My colleague Susan was doing research with third graders on the one room school house. To help bring the idea to life, she brought in this desk rescued from the old school in her hometown of Burkeville, VA. in Nottoway County.(population 489 in the last census) when it closed.
Here you see a third grader whose father is a teacher in the Lower School. While he attends meetings after school, she usually completes her homework in the library. The next morning we discovered a note she had left for us on the desk. To read the note, click here: http://tinyurl.com/beld52p
I though perhaps you were sharing a grade school photo of your own! That's a nice step back in time..."like to a few years ago" when I was in grade school!
