Grades 4-6: Becoming Citizens of the Frontier: Lessons of a One-Room Schoolhouse by Minnesota Historical Society

Meet Harriet Bishop, the first public school teacher in St. Paul, Minnesota, as she prepares her students to be citizens of 19th-century America. Miss Bishop will take students back in time to her frontier schoolhouse, where together they will practice cleanliness, spelling, geography, arithmetic, sewing and recitation, while learning about 1850s frontier life. Students will learn how our values as citizens, both in Bishop’s time and today, shape the communities in which we live.
