Grades one through eight shared the same classroom.A one-room schoolhouse was usually built of wood and painted white or red.To get to school, children walked, rode horses, or rode in a buggy. When it was time for school to begin, the teacher rang a bell, Then the children went inside.Sometimes they stopped in a small room first to wash their hands. They poured water from a jug, or pitcher, into a bowl called a basin. They hung their coats on hooks in a cloakroom. Then they went to their desks. They stood to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. The smallest children sat in the smallest desks at the front of the room. These children were the closest ones to the teacher's desk. The tallest children sat in the back. A potbelly stove stood in the middle of the room. The stove heated the room on cold days, The children who sat near the stove may have felt too warm. The children who sat farthest away may have felt cold. The stove burned fuel such as wood or coal.The children studied arithmetic, or math; geography: science; history; reading art;and penmanship, or neat writing. Teachers wrote lessons on a blackboard at the front of the room. Students did math problems or practiced writing on the blackboard. In some schools, students had their own small blackboards, called slates, to write on One teacher had to teach all grade levels, so teachers often taught the children one at a time.The teacher expected the children to behave well and punished those who did not. The teacher may have used a leather strap, a wooden cane, or a wooden paddle for this task. Sometimes a child who had behaved badly would have to cut a switch from a tree. The teacher would then hit the child with the switch as punishment. Recess was at noon. The children played and ate lunch. Students often carried their lunches to school in metal pails. In very cold weather, the teacher sometimes cooked hot food onthe stove. Lessons resumed in the afternoon. When school ended for the day, thechildren went home. They rarely had homework. Their parents required them to help with chores in the house or on the farm. Only a few children owned books. When students had to carry books to and from school. they tied the books together with a leather strap and held on to the loose end of the strap.( )8,In a one-room schoolhousue, children in grades one through eight________A.had different teachers B learned the same lessons.B.shared the same classroom D.had different classrooms( )9,The middle of a classroom usually had_____________.A .a potbelly stove B. a picture and a basinC .paper sacks D. a teacher’s desk( )10,A student who had books carried them_____________.A.inside a basinB. in a metal pailB.With a leather strap D. with a horse( )11.
