The word ‘Schoolhouse’ is generally used to describe the kind of small, one-room school that used to be very common in rural parts of the United States and Canada. Class sizes at these schools were small, and teachers cared greatly about their students and their students’ learning. These schools emphasized educational fundamentals such as phonics, reading, and writing. It was the hope of the teacher that by imparting these skills, students would be prepared to continue learning independently long after they had left the schoolhouse.

The first twelve animals across the river would be the winners, and they would each have a year named after them.
