One room schoolhouse
By Maddie Milliren
What is the one room schoolhouse
The school was just a building with one room. The room was filled with desks and many people with all different ages. They where made out of wood and the teachers would write on a chalkboard.
Teachers
There would be a different entry for girls and boys. Girls would sit on one side of the room and boys would sit on the other. The young kids would sit in the front of the room and a wood stove heated the whole room. The teachers weren't trained like they are now. Most of them were men that are retired soldiers that knew how to read and write. There was only one teacher and they taught as many as eight grades at a time.

Would I want to go to the one room schoolhouse?
No, I wouldn't want to go to any one room school house because you wouldn't get to learn as much. I think it would be hard to learn and get a good education if there is so many people and they are all in different grades
