Now I am doing my own 'Stories'.<br /><br />My earliest Kindergarten memory was building a tower from blocks and a girl coming over and knocking it down. In retaliation I pushed her.

We usually only had 10 or 12 students. The interesting part was my sister, the oldest, had to wait a year so my brother could walk the mile to school with her. I was 3 years later and my mom spent a lot of time teaching me cursive and penmanship and spelling.

I'm looking forward to your help in writing about my life. My only memories of kindergarden are the row of mats we used for nap-time and the huge bow window which went from one side of the room to the other. I must have liked it because, over 60 years later, I still smile when I think of it.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01849383904293049980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-53947403184199969162014-01-05T19:49:28.919-05:002014-01-05T19:49:28.919-05:00Anne - did your brothers walk you every day?

Kindergarten (mornings only) -- I walked to school each day with my two older brothers. On my first day of school, however, my mom walked me all the way (about 1/2 mile from our house). My teacher, Sister Mary, (a very young, pretty School Sisters of Notre Dame) greeted her students outside. I was crying. My mom was holding my hand.

But, I had a 15 month older sister, and I badgered her to teach me what she'd learned every day.
