Is it okay to say "once, on one [name of day of the week]" or does it sound rather unnatural?
For example:
Once, on one Monday, when the homeroom teacher was not in the class, she got on the desk and started signing.
If it's unnatural, than what would be the idiomatic way of expressing some happening in the past that happened at one particular point in time in the past during one particular day of the week?
"Once, on one Monday" doesn't sound particularly natural to me. I would say either "Once, on a Monday" or "Once, one Monday".
Something like "Once, on one particularly dreary Monday" would sound better, although even there I would probably prefer to either omit "on" or change "one" into "a".
I think "Once, on one Monday" might work in speech if you were emphasising the word "one", but I don't think it works as well in writing, particularly in the context of your sentence.
It's OK, although many native speakers might say 'Once, on a Monday...". Also, it is completely normal to say that she 'got, climbed, or stood on the desk'.
