Oh no! The teacher's coming with a stick because we were talking in school! Run to the time machine!
Ding, ding, ding! School's in session, and the year is 1880. Wait, it's 2014! Well...not on Monday. That's because on Monday we went on a field trip to the Troy Historic Village. We went to school at Poppleton, a real one-room schoolhouse from the 1800s. We went there to learn about the past and what it felt like for children in school back then. We learned about the 3 R's, we wrote with chalk on slates, and we played with old-fashioned games at recess. We even had to change our names to names of kids who really went to Poppleton! But if you really lived in the 1800's, you would NEVER want to get in trouble. That's because the punishments were HORRIBLE! If you were tardy, you would have to do your work standing up. If you chewed gum, you had to spit it out, put it on the chalk board and stick your nose in it. Worst of all was the dunce cap! When you didn't do your homework, you had to put it on and sit in the corner, and your teacher would call you a dunce (that means a stupid person)! They could even hit you with a stick! And that's what it was like in the 1800's.
Oh no! The teacher's coming with a stick because we were talking in school! Run to the time machine!

We liked when our class said 'oh no! The teachers coming with a stick because we were talking in school! Run to the time machine!'.
