One Room School House Experience

This unique experience simulates a day at school during Aztec's pioneer era with Reading, Writing and 'Rithmetic. We add in craft activities and plenty of old-fashioned fun & games! Students wear pinafore aprons or suspenders provided by the museum to help set the stage for a day in the past they'll remember long into the future!

Due to space limitations, each session is capped at 10 kids, ages 6-13. The nostalgic day runs 9:15am-3pm and includes lunch in a take home souvenir lunch pail and a graduation certificate at day's end.

Jessica Sledzinski is our costumed teacher for the day. Jessica is the principal at Park Avenue Elementary in Aztec, a member of the museum board of directors, and a museum volunteer. She has an extensive background in art, history and education. This is her 3rd season offering this immersive student experience using a curriculum she developed for this program that is typical of the time period and age/skill appropriate. She has an additional educator/volunteer on hand to assist and ensure safety and fun for our scholars!
