The article analyzes the ethnopedagogical content and methods of labor education of the first Chuvash teachers - A. V. Rekeev, I. I. Ivanov, N. M. Okhotnikov. Since their childhood they, who came from peasant families, knew the Chuvash folk traditions well and were brought up by labor, so their ethnopedagogical spiritual image was formed through labor. We found unity in their views on education and upbringing, particularly on labour: they saw the elements of intellectual and educative work in children's games, put great importance to introducing children from an early age to possible employment, the labor situation in the family took a significant place in it; they described the measures and methods that could support being interested in work among Chuvash children: praise, encouragement, approval, hints. In their educational, literary activities, they relied on the labour folk traditions and embodied them in life while working in the Simbirsk schools. Their ethnopedagogical heritage contains classic examples of the use of progressive labor traditions of the Chuvash people in the children training and education.
