The Kansas Snokomo 1883 School House
Would children benefit learning
in the peaceful surroundings
of a country one room school house where they write on slate boards with chalk?
With no overhead fluorescent lighting
to trigger brain waves to respond at a unnatural speed,
would children learn easier without behavior problems?
Would they benefit by not breathing in formaldehyde fumes
that come from modern walls made of glued chips
that form particle board used in contemporary buildings?
No off gassing or outgassing in an old school house.
If laminated plastics didn't exist,
would it make a difference in the learning environment?
I think it would.
Having fewer students in a old fashioned atmosphere
without rushing from one classroom
to another before the school bell rings would change the feel of the learning environment.
Leaving the world behind would increase morale, relax the nerves and let the children enjoy a slower paced school environment.
Take a breather.
Lil Miss with classmates had one day of school
at the 1883 Snokomo Kansas country school house.
Inside activities and outdoors with Mother Nature.
The day was beautiful with powder blue skies
and laughter in the air.
SO quiet and tranquility was an easy lesson to learn.
Peaceful.
I could hear myself think.
The children enjoy their day at school.
After entering the classroom,
the Pledge of Allegiance was spoken, places to sit were taken
and the school day officially started.
What a memorable experience to have.
Little House On The Prairie comes to mind.
Blessings to you,

2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.
New International Version
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
New Living Translation
Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.
English Standard Version
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

DECORATING
I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."
John 3:7
“Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.”
King James Version (KJV)
PSALM 118:17
I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.
PROVERBS 24:3-4
By wisdom a house is built,and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES
NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
