Blogging Through the Years: Kindergarten

This is part of a “Blogging Through the Years” series started by Ashley. My other Blogging Through the Years posts: Pre-K.

  • The year was 1994. My kindergarten teacher (Mrs. T) was amazing. I remember her being a family friend, so I had even been to her house a few times. I’m pretty sure she lived on an Ostrich farm. Crazy, right?
  • I remember having a girl in my class that would go around biting people during nap time. She threw tantrums all the time. I actually imagined myself punching her in the face one day, but I was way too shy to do that.
  • My sister started pre-k this year, and I thought it was cool being someone’s big sister. I always made sure she got on the bus, even if I had to go by her classroom to walk her to it. If she wasn’t on the bus by a certain point, I would get really scared and protective. She had bouncy curls, baby blue eyes, and she was my “baby.”
  • I have a hard time remembering anything I learned this year, sadly. I’m assuming I learned to read and some writing skills.
  • I always had lonnng hair (to my waist). This was the year I decided to get it cut, and mom let me get it cut to my shoulders.

Do you remember your first haircut or any crazy things about past teachers?

P.S. I was featured as Alana’s Blog Friend Crush today!

Blogging Through the Years: Pre-K

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?
