Our 4th-grade class is studying how things have changed over time. To get more information, I spoke with my great-grandmother to find out what her school was like when she was my age. The following is what she told me.

My school was called Algoe School. It was built in 1902 and was a one-room school. There was only one teacher, but the students were from different grades. Algoe School sometimes had as many as 18 students, but once there were only two.
We all had jobs to do every day. The teacher rang the school bell every morning. There was a flagpole (旗杆) in front of our school. We raised the flag every morning. At noon break, one student cleaned the blackboard. Some students swept the floor. And two students had the job of walking to a nearby farm to bring back a big bag of drinking water.
In winter, our school was heated by a wood-burning stove (炉子). On very cold mornings, we all sat around the stove and the teacher gave us lessons. Although it was very cold, we all felt happy.

My favorite subject was spelling because I was good at spelling bees (拼字比赛). Every time I won the spelling bee, the teacher would give me some candy. I once won first prize in National Spelling Bee. My prize was a famous children’s novel from the local newspaper.
I will always remember Algoe School and the good times there.
