Turrill's second-graders make nostalgic journey to Crossroads Village and the Stanley School

Turrill Elementary School second-graders have traveled to Crossroads Village to take a journey back in time to spend a few hours studying as their great grandparents might have studied.

Students dressed in period clothing (see photos of Ms. Luann Roberson's class) and spent three hours studying in the old school house on the grounds of Crossroads Village in Genesee Township near Flint, on Wednesday, April 22.

Students met in class at the Stanley School House at Crossroads Village.

The program is part of the Crossroads Village School Days offering.

To make it even more realistic, many students packed their lunches into an old-fashioned metal bucket, or pail.

All the children had a wonderful and educational time. Previously students in Mrs. Diana Carr's class made the trip.
