Fifty-six Lakin third graders joined us in the Columbia school house for a special presentation on May 1st. They learned about the first teacher in Lakin and the first schools, and pictures of these early school buildings were passed around for them to inspect. We discussed pioneer discipline techniques and the three “R’s.” We also had math ciphering contests and practiced articulation by reciting tongue twisters. Judging by the smiles on the students’ faces and their giggles while doing tongue twisters, this program was a success!
