 * The Colonial Period Classroom **


 * Syllabus

This is your colonial classroom.

All ages will meet in this one-room schoolhouse to learn.

My name is Mr. Cox, and I will be your teacher.

Girls will sit on one side of the room, and boys will sit on the other side of the room.

Keep your hands on your desk, and keep your feet under the bench.

Your parents provide your supplies. You need quill pens, ink, paper, and books.

There is a fireplace for warmth in the winter. Parents should provide firewood for the fireplace during winter months. On cold days, students performing well may sit closer to the fire.

Students are expected to be completely obedient at all times.

Punishments for misbehavior could include wearing a dunce cap, being tapped on the hand or the head with a ruler, or, if deemed necessary, being whipped. ||
