Emma VanderHeide, a second grader at Dutton Christian Elementary, runs in the grass outside Detray School, an old one-room schoolhouse in Gaines Township, on Monday. VanderHeide spent the day with her class in the schoolhouse to learn what it felt like to be a pioneer, using feather pens, ink wells, and chalkboard slates. (Emily Zoladz | The Grand Rapids Press)
