Life in the 1800s was not easy washing clothes you had to make soap 🧼 and scrub your clothes on a washing board and put them in the sun to dry them. All of the children had to work and if they got in trouble at school you missed work at home so your family might not of had the plants picked and ready to eat for dinner. Work in the garden was a big part of your life if you had a big family then you had to have a big garden to feed all of the people in your family.

What I learned is life back then was not as pleasant as it is now. So I guess the women had to do laundry which took some effort. The little girls had to help their mother with gardening and house work. The little men had to feed the animals and count how much food they give them. And the schoolhouse was one room, so that meant the 3rd and 4th grades usually had to help the K,1st, and 2nd grade. And there was a dunce a dunce is where a kid misbehaves then if you had a sister or brother and you didn’t want mom or dad to know then.......

At Cracker Country we learned a lot. First we learned how they washed their clothes. Well they first had a very old “washing machine” were you scrubbed the clothes on the thing and you would always hit your thumb on the thing. Then came out a newer “washing machine” which looks like a toilet plunger. Finally you iron the clothes. It’s not the iron you think now it is very heavy and is very small. Next we all went to learn about making butter. We got to stir the butter they were starting to make. Then we go to pick if we wanted butter in our cracker or not. Then we went to pick some dead plants. I also saw a deformed carrot. That’s were the carrots grew together and made one big carrot. We went to a old school house but are iPads were now old slates (Aka chalkboards). Finally we went to a very old house that was made all out of wood that was made in 1900.

At Cracker Country we learned about a lot. First we learned about how they use to wash their clothes with an old type of soap 🧼. The soap was put on their clothes and then they would take this old board and just rub it for a long time or they would use a thing that looked like a plunger for the toilet and you would just beat the clothes . Then you would take a iron and heat it up so that it would dry your clothes. After we got done with that we went into one of the of the old houses and made nutter and had it on a cracker. Then we went in a garden and worked. After we went to see the animals and learned what they did. Finally we went into the schoolhouse and learned what the school back then was like.

They had to do really hard work. First, they had to do there laundry with a thing that you rub your close on and it would make your close clean. They also had to make the soap and put it on the thing that you rub your close on. Then this guy invented another way to do your close easily. There was a plunger that you would use to put your close in the water. In then you would go up in down with the plunger.I also learned that they did’nt have a lot os space in there cabins. They also had no electricity in some of the cabins. I also learned that there was a mom and dad that had 12 kids. So they had to have about l l/2 to 2 acres.

I learned at cracker county how life was like In Florida during the pioneer days. I learned how they did Landry and ironing. We also saw what the houses were like and how they made butter. We actually got to try it. I also learned that the garden is where they got their food from and that the kids had to work in it to. I discovered how school was like and they worked on blackboards instead of white.

Today on our field trip we learned a lot ,like you would spend hours doing every chore , you would have to milk the cow and make homemade butter , you would have open houses ,lots of family members,every time you took a picture you'd frowned,school actions were weird for example the girls had to sell on the left side of the room and the boys had to sit on the right ,the boys had their own table and the girls had to share their table with three other girls, you had to eat lunch and a pail at your desk ,you only had a pallet to write on, you had no homework, and you said the pledge differently, and there was only one room for the whole school for eight grades, and your brothers and sisters will would have been in the same class as you and you are expected to help them ,now we know all this wonderful stuff because of our wonderful teachers Mrs. Charlet ,Mrs.Jacques , Mrs.Ensley, Mrs. Young, Mrs. Harbison, Mr. Burge oh and let's not forget our wonderful principles Mrs.Powell ,Mrs .Powpell ,and Mr. Masong thank you all of you for letting us go on this wonderful field trip I'm letting us learn these wonderful things now we will be able to tell them to our children and our grandchildren and our great great grandchildren and so on. And thank you so very much.

today we learned about how in the 1800's life was. the first thing we did was seeing how people did laundry. you did laundry by using a wash board,bucket, and your hands. later on a guy invented a more advanced and safer way to wash your clothes. after that we went to the carlton house and saw what it looked like. also in the carlton house we learned how to make butter. you would first get your hands clean, then you would milk a cow and put cream in a container together and mix them untill the butter got all mixed together. after we mixed the butter we went to the garden where we learned about how much food it took to feed all the caltons. it turned out to be one and a half to two acres of garden to feed them. then we went to the old school house and learned how they did school. they only wrote in cursive and if you were bad you wore the dunce hat. you also did not use a white board they used a chalk board. then we went to make candles which was fun. you would dip your candle in wax six times for three seconds each. we also learned the wax is from honey comb. then we saw how a bed was made. the first step is to make a wooden frame, then you would attach rope to make a strong hold on the mattress the mattress is made out of a bag and spanish moss. we learned how to make rope to. you make it by intwining a type of root from a plant together. we also saw some farm animals they would have. we went to to the gift shop right after. after all we had an awesome time!

We learned that mainly they don’t have the stuff we do now. Like they had to do the laundry with scrubbers and it got a bit better. Also how much hard work the kids and parents had to do. One story he told was that this one family had ten kids so they had to clean 12 cloths, feed 12 people and all of them had to do chores. When they had school the didn’t have iPads or desk that you can put your work inside they also used chalk boards. We got to look at a garden and pick all of the bad plants out. We got to learn how they would make buttermilk back then. Once she was telling us how then she would give us buttermilk on a cracker. I loved that field trip.

At Cracker Country we learned about how they lived back then. They had to wash their clothes with their hands on a board. Then they had to iron all of them with a small, heavy iron. They also had to make their own butter. They milked a cow then put creme in a container then mix them until it became butter. Then he told us a story about a family that had twelve people ten kids and two adults. They had to wash all their clothes, make all their food and all of them had to do chores. We also got to see a garden and pull out the dead leaves. Then we got to make candles by dipping a piece of string about three times in a bucket of wax from a honey comb.We also got to make rope by using a rope machine and we had to turn it. Then we went to a old school house and boys and girls would sit seperated in rows. They didnt have iPads or paper so they used a chalk board and chalk.

At cracker country we learned that people back then I had to do a lot more stuff than us today and I had a very young age they started to work.We also learned that boys had to sit on the right side and girls had to sit on The left side. Boys also got their own seats and desk but on the other hand us girls got one desk for two people and sometimes four. We also learn how they wash their clothes they would make their own soap and they would have a board to wash their clothes mostly the girls would do it while the men and boys were out hunting riding horses or helping the family out. We also learned how cows got melt back then and how to make butter and then we got to try butter and crackers. We also went into the garden and if they had a big family they had a huge garden and we got to pick out the bad leaves. We also made candles with string then we dipped it in beeswax. Then we learn how they lived in their house they built their houses unlike us today when we get other people to build our houses but if we lived back then we would not have all the cool stuff that we had today like Technology, lights, way better beds, air conditioning, and more. We also learned how to make ropes we made our ropes by Rolling a weird thing I don’t know how to explain it but then it made a rope and our teacher got to take it but we might use it for recess hopefully.

At cracker country we learned about how the pioneers made butter and crackers, they would get milk from the cows tits and stir it till it was thick for buttermilk crackers. We also learned how they washed clothes, they made the soap from hog fat and there was a invention for washing clothes there was a bar of soap on top of it in a little holder and there was a metal thing with things that sick up and scrape of the dirt into a water bucket and there was another invention for washing clothes it was a plunger looking thing that you would push onto clothes and it would wash the clothes. We leaned about the schools back then there was one classroom for 8 grade levels and a girls side and a boy side and In the front of the room there was a furnace so people would want to sit in the front and for lunch everyone brought tiny pales to put lunch in. I think it was really hard for people back then compared to nowadays where we have air conditioning, cars, washing, machines, grocery stores and other better stuff.

I learned that times were rough back then. You had to pick your vegetables instead of getting them from the store. You had to kill meat. You also usually needed to know how to use a gun. You had to also do the laundry by hand. People would steal because there were no laws. So it was way harder than it is now.
