Miller Avenue School second graders in Mrs. Burke and Mr. Korchma's classes enjoyed an exciting field trip to the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook, where they stepped back in time to learn about life on Long Island in the 1880s. Students experienced what school was like in a one room school house and discovered daily chores on the farm such as washing clothes, churning butter and feeding farm animals. The children also practiced solving arithmetic problems on slate boards and writing using quill pens, like students 100 years ago. It was an exciting day full of hands-on learning!
