Kirby Smith Field Trip

On Tuesday, we journeyed back in time 112 years ago to the one room school house of Schoolmarm Smith. Schoolmarm Smith taught us to sit up straight in our desks and to write with quills and ink. So, really we just traveled by bus to the History Room at the Kirby Smith center. The History Room is a 112-year-old classroom, with some slight modifications (like lights with lightbulbs instead of lanterns with candles). After learning about being a student at the turn of the century, the class acted as detectives in the hall to do some sleuthing for clues. The bulletin boards in the hallway are full of photographs and information about Gainesville in the late 1800s and early 1900s. We had a great time.








Comment with your answers to the following:
1. What was your favorite part of the trip?
2. What was different about life 112 years ago?
3. What was similar about life 112 years ago?

The trip was kinda fun aaah I cant fake it. It was awsome.My two favorite things were the sling shot and the thing were it zooms in at the boy getting smacked with a ruler on the butt. But I agree The trip was kinda fun aaah I cant fake it. It was awsome.My two favorite things were the sling shot and the thing were it zooms in at the boy getting smacked with a ruler on the butt. But I agree with the girl last year the costumes were just torture. But I loved eating outside with everybody it was so fun. IT WAS THE BEST FIELD TRIP EVERwi

My favortie part of the trip is that I saw the sligshot and the piture of the man giving the boy hit on the bottom.Life 122 year ago was differt from now is that you get hit with a stick,your desk is stuck together.Life in 122 year ago was simlar from now is that you have desks and you get to write read and speel.
