Each
year, several hundred scholars from Rehoboth and neighboring towns
enjoy a
spring day at the school hosted by Mistress Pettine or Mistress Peranzi.
The
Hornbine visit is a hands on, enjoyable, educational experience and is
part of
the Massachusetts Social Studies curriculum in grade three,
Children
and adults always enjoy dressing for the occasion.
During
their visit, scholars practice writing with ink using a quill feather
pen. They
use copy books, slates and horn books while learning their “3Rs”.
