See how schools in the United States have changed over the years

We go to school to learn and see friends but school has changed over time. Long ago schools only had one room, now schools are large buildings with many rooms.

This book describes how school has changed through the years and includes such topics as transportation, supplies, and subjects taught.

Historical and modern-day photographs interspersed throughout these books clearly illustrate how aspects of daily life change over time, while simple text shows readers how to compare and contrast ideas. Timelines in the back of each book give readers perspective by listing key inventions and developments that have modernized our lives.
