We were all nervous seeing her since she was so strict, gives you a wink if you seem to be in trouble.

I loved it. Despite the fact that the teacher thought I was mentally slow and put me in the lowest level reading group when I knew she was wrong! By the time I was in the 3rd grade my test scores proved that I was at least two years ahead of my age in reading. This teacher could have ruined my life if I had not had a strong family support system. Watch out for evil witches, kids! From the very first day I started elementary school in Rock Hall, MD.

I went to a one room school in Moorse Mills , New York. It was heated with a stove in the back of the room. There where 6 or 7 grades in it. It started with first grade then. We had one teacher for all the grades. We did have a art, and music. Don't remember gym. I do remember a Christmas program where we all had to memorize something. I remember that year we had a May Pole in the spring. I only went one year to that school we moved the beginning of the following school year. The school was open for quite a few years after we moved. The last time I was in the area they had torn it down. I remember my first day of school.
