 * Conclusion **
 * School in the 19Th century is a lot different than schooling in the 21st century. Many of us take buses to school, while they walked. We use pens, pencils, crayons, paper, whiteboards, chalkboards,etc. while they used only one slate and piece of chalk. We attended school all year round(not including summer) 5 days a week while they go five months out of the year, and usually don't attend since there family comes first. We go to a large school with MANY classrooms with only 25 people max, while they had a one classroom school with up to 80 children trying to learn. these are only some of the differences between schooling then and now.

TOPIC!!! children games!!!

example- **fantasy games, told scary stories, hiked, skated, sledded, jumping rope, and rolling hoops or playing "The Graces"

since not many toys could be afforded, most of the time children made up games, which is why we play tag and various other games like this one.

 * Example- material and craftsman ship of the toys

pri source- ** few and were simple, homemade, store-bought, shop-made ones were rare. An average American child's possessions today would have astonished even the wealthiest girl or boy of the 1830s.


 * Example- Time for play

Pri source- ** Now-a-days we are expected to play when we arent busy with homework or school, back then they played ONLY when all thier chores, homework, school, and help around the house was completly finished.

Baseball**
 * Example-

Baseball was created back then. It was changed in many was and called townball or rounders.
