One Room School
Students in Mrs. Burns class wrote about their one-room school house day (November 22, 2002).
[Mrs. Burns really wasnt that mean!]
On Friday the one room schoolhouse was cool. I liked it when I sat on the chair. It was cool. I wore a bandanna and overalls. I had a sack lunch. It was awesome. I liked it when I got punished. Our teacher was acting grumpy like back in the olden days. I liked it when our teacher was acting grumpy. We have wooden toys and games.

I was scared very much because of my teacher Mrs. Burns. She was very mean. I had to dress like a pilgrim. I had to wear a bonnet and I wore a dress and I wore an apron. Brendan got hit with the ruler. He said, "Ouch!" I laughed. Jihad had to sit in the chair. I laughed. Ha, ha, ha!

On Friday, we acted like one-room schoolhouse kids. I liked it when I held the heavy dictionaries. We were called the pioneers. They used to sit on a chair. Last Friday, we had a spelling bee. When we took the spelling test, we got hit on the knuckles and Brendan said, "Ouch, that hurts." The girls had to wear long skirts. The boys had to wear a hat, and a handkerchief, too. Brendan was hanging on the hook and he was mad.

The one room schoolhouse was fun. We went to the well and we went to the outhouse. I got one time out. November 22 was fun.

It is fun. The toys are fun. The teacher has big punishments. Boys had to wear bib-overalls. The teacher was strict. The day was fun.

I did not like the punishments in the one room schoolhouse. Our teacher looked very nice in her pilgrim clothes. I had to sit in the stool. We had to write on slate boards. I wore a dress with flowers on it. I also wore a bonnet. A bonnet is a hat that the girl pilgrims wore.

On Friday we pretended we were pioneers. I wore a dress and a bonnet. I liked it when we wrote with quills. We had a spelling bee.

On one room schoolhouse day, we had to dress up like pilgrims. I had to borrow Mrs. Burns pilgrim outfit. The teacher was mean. We had to echo read the book. The one room schoolhouse was fun. There was a well and an outhouse. Jordan and Aubry brought baby dolls. We got to write with a quill pen. I really, really liked the one room schoolhouse.

On Friday we had a one-room schoolhouse. It was cool. I liked standing on the chair. Mrs. Burns acted strict. I wore a skirt, a bonnet, a dress thing and an apron. I didnt bring my backpack. I brought my lunch in a basket. We practiced using a quill. It was hard. We were pioneers. The punishments were sitting on a stool, standing on a chair and stuck to the chalkboard.

There were punishments. I had to dress up as a pioneer. I brought a basket and it had my doll in it. I did not like the punishments. But the rest of the day was so, so, so, so, so, so, so, fun. I loved it so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so much.
By Jordan
In the school I felt like a real pilgrim.

On Friday I got hung on a hook. We had to dress up like the olden days. I wore a handkerchief.

On Friday some teachers came in with bells. It was cool. Our teacher was very strict, too. It was weird. We got to write with quill pens. The girls wore aprons.

Last Friday we had a one room school house. When our teachers picked us up from the gym, we had to be very, very quiet. I sat in the back row. When Mrs. Burns was doing attendance, she said the back row was teenagers. I was very happy. The boys wore handkerchiefs and I had plaid shirt.

I liked the one room schoolhouse. It was very fun. We dressed up as the pioneers. I did not like it when I got hung up on the chalkboard and when I had to sit in the corner. The boys had handkerchiefs, vests, hats, plain shirts, suspenders, and bib overalls. Mrs. Burns was strict. The girls wore capes, bonnets, and they carried baskets. When Jihad was on the hook, I was laughing at him, but then I got on the hook and he was laughing at me. When my mom picked me up I told her all about it. She said, "Cool."
By Brendan
The one room schoolhouse was fun and we went to the outhouse to go the bathroom. To get a drink we went to the well. I did not get in trouble.
By Aubrey

Two students were absent, so they wrote about their weekend.
I went to my dads house on Sunday and Saturday. On Friday I was sick and I could not go to school. I could not go to the one room schoolhouse. I was not happy. On Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday we do not have school.

My dad and I went to Six Flags. We had lots of fun.
