School in the good old days?

When I was 5 years old I got to go to a one-room schoolhouse with an older cousin in Nebraska when we were visiting in December. She packed a lunch in a metal lunchbox for both of us and we walked to the schoolhouse. When we came inside & hung up our coats, there was a small table with a large container of water on it and a single dipper for all of us to drink from. There were two outhouses outside towards the edge of the property, one for girls and the other for boys. There were rows of desks and i got to sit with my cousin for the day. Two teachers taught grades from kindergarten to 8th grade. My cousin’s teacher was teaching the older students. But the other teacher would give me the kindergarten papers to work on even though I wasn’t enrolled in kindergarten in my area. I sat quietly and worked on the papers. We had recess and went outside, used the outhouse and played till the bell rang. Went back inside and did more lessons till lunch. Everyone washed their hands at the well outside and then we sat & had lunch & went out to play a little more. In the afternoon the older students assisted the younger students with lessons. When the school day was over the teacher told my cousin that I was a good student and would do well in school and we walked back to the house. It was a pleasantly warm day for mid-December.
