Ashley at Writing to Reach You started a blog series called “Blogging Through the Years” in which she talks about things she remembers from each grade during school. I think it’ll be fun to test my memory a bit, so I’m going to play along.
- Pre-Kindergarten was my first year of school … I think I was around four. I had two teachers, and I remember having tables to sit at instead of individual desks. We ate breakfast and lunch at these tables, along with doing classwork.
- I remember Dad coming to eat lunch with me once, and he sat in one of the tiny chairs at the table. The cafeteria ladies would bring our food to the classroom on carts, and I remember having special juice boxes because I was allergic to milk.
- I had a “boyfriend” at the time (and I believe he had a chili-bowl haircut), and I kissed him behind one of those tables.
- We also had “stations” where we could play “house” and things of that nature.
- I made my first best friend that year. (She and I were friends up until fourth grade, when I was in a different class than she was. We recently found each other on Myspace, however.)
- I remember learning to tie my shoes, but it was so hard! I learned my ABCs, too.
Can you remember pre-k or daycare?

I know I can’t remember anything from that time, and I’m impressed that you can!
I laughed at the image of your dad sitting in one of those little chairs. Thanks for doing this, Megan!
Your kiss your boyfriend in pre school? Slut! LOL JK!!!
Thanks for triggering my memory of learning how to tie my shoes! Wow, I totally forgot about that.
I don’t remember much from my early childhood beyond playing on the playground. We would imagine that the ground was lava or some sort of dangerous obstacle and hang off the monkey bars.
Tag was always fun. I have very fond memories of tag. I had a huge crush on a boy in my grade and I was always hoping that he’d catch me in tag. Don’t remember his name though.
