School Then and Now (First Step Nonfiction ? Then and Now)

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 includes such topics as transportation, supplies, and subjects taught.

Historical and modern-day photographs interspersed throughout 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.
