I hope you don't think today's question is too silly. Sometimes I think up a good question on say Thursday or Friday and forget it by the next Monday.
Tell me 3 things you remember about kindergarten. Or the kindergarten equivalent where you live. (In the US; Kindergarten is the first year of traditional/public schooling at around age 5. Preschool is generally not required and not offered at a public level in many areas unless the child has some kind of special needs or comes from a disadvantaged background.)
I remember that my classroom was light green.
We had a wooden "play house" made up of wooden walls and you had to climb to get in it. There were only a few kids allowed at a time in there so it was pretty rare you'd get a chance to be in there. That always disappointed me.
We had our own little room off the classroom with cubbies for our coats and things. Our own bathroom was right next to this. I remember walking in one morning and a little boy (my first boyfriend) had put fresh lilacs in all of the girls cubbies. I don't remember being overly impressed then; but lilacs are my favorite flower and scent. My Mom says he brought me flowers a couple other times. Including dead ones from his mother's valentine bouquet.
He had 2 other little girlfriends too.
I mostly remember what he looked like from our school picture; very Italian with dark coloring and darker skin. It was the 80s and his parents dressed him quite Miami Vice inspired for those pictures; white pants and a Hawaiian print shirt! At least they didn't send a 5 year old to school with a matching white suit jacket!
He moved after Kindergarten and that was the end it.
