Back in Time to School!

While the older kids went back to school today, we took the younger kids back in time! To the Soap Creek Historic Schoolhouse. This schoolhouse is located about 8 miles north of Corvallis, before you get to Adair. We set up our little mock-1900's classroom and talked a little about the history of the school, played games like Tug-o-War with grass, Where's the thimble?, and Doggie, Doggie, where's your bone? Kid's also made a little craft apple necklace and made butter by shaking whipping cream. The schoolhouse was so adorable. It even still had a belfry where you could pull the rope to ring the bell to hurry in the kids to school. My daughter has asked many times when we're going to "preschool" again- she was so excited about her "first day of school." We had about 5 moms and 10 kids who were able to make it to the activity. Here's a few fun pictures!
