I carry my lunch to school in a cloth bag.
The food for my lunch came from our farm and garden. These are some of the
things I may have in my lunch.
 |
home-made bread |
|
cold meat |
|
muffin |
|
hard boiled egg |
|
cheese |
|
jam |
|
oatmeal or gingerbread cookies |
|
pickles or preserves |
|
vegetables (carrots, celery) |
|
fruit (apples, pears, plums) |
|
mason jar of milk, apple juice, or cider |
Sometimes our teacher would make a big pot of
stew or soup on the stove and we would all have that for lunch.
|
In school we learned "the 3 Rs" - Reading,
Writing, and Arithmetic. We had to supply our own slates, paper, ink and
quill pens. Books were scarce and we often had to share a speller
or reader.
