Prof. Richard and Lois Balge completed extensive research gathering material for a teacher’s manual and classroom curriculum for “The Little WELS School in the Woods” project. It is envisioned that fourth grade students and older will be able to visit the Landmark Church to have a half-day experience of an 1880s classroom. The work completed by the Balges was very well done; it includes arithmetic, reading, writing, spelling and religion lessons, as well as opportunities for students to perform some of the of the chores expected during a typical school day more than a century ago.
