Step back in time and experience a school day in 1918!
Fourth- and fifth-grade students are invited to participate in Burritt on the Mountain’s immersive Rosenwald School Day Experience. Students will be transformed into children attending school in 1918 as they:
• Dress in clothing appropriate for the period
• Repack their lunches in traditional baskets and pails
• Participate in historical reading, writing, spelling, and arithmetic lessons
• Write with nib pens and ink
• Complete lessons on slates
• Learn about vocational education
• Play games children enjoyed during recess in 1918
Students will also learn about the history and importance of Rosenwald Schools and the educational opportunities they provided to Black children throughout the South during segregation.
