ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory of "back to school" is fourth grade. You see on the last day of 3rd grade I got glasses. I was amazed at all the things I had missed. I was excited to go to school and let everyone see me in my new glasses. I was even more excited to be able to see the chalkboard without walking to the front of the room.
The year that my DAD was the bus driver. Not sure which year it was, but I felt pretty cool. Didn't realize it at the time that it was because my dad was on strike from his regular job, and he had seven children to feed. But he was my bus driver, and I felt pretty cool getting on the bus early, and having my pick of seats.
ReplyDeleteSee you on the 25th. Happy Hopping!
ReplyDeleteI`m a follower and my favorite memory of back to school is is compare yourself to your friends who see who is taller and go buy notebooks, books and colors kits..that`s fun.

ReplyDeletei am a follower. My favorite memories involve new clothes and new school supplies for that first day of school. That was true as a child and still was true as a teacher myself.

ReplyDeleteI have been a "faithful follower" of your blog for some time now.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite school-time memory is when I waited for my sister to be 1 year older so she could go to my school with me. We are only 11 months apart, so my mom always used to dress us up as "twins". She dressed us up in matching plaid skirts and white blouses and we pranced happily off to school together.
My favorite memory is going into my senior year -- happy that it was my last year. Boy, 30 years later I am wishing I was that age again :) I am a follower. Thanks
ReplyDeletehmm I think I liked going back to school for second grade - I liked my first grade teacher who I got to keep for second grade. After that the "looking forward" steadyly declined ...
ReplyDeleteand yes I'm follower

ReplyDeleteBeing of a certain age, favorite memory is going to buy my new pair of "saddle shoes" every year early so they would be appropriately dirty by the first day of school.

ReplyDeleteSou seguidora.Lembrança e saudade de sempre é minha primeira professora Sra.IARA,até hoje é um amor de pessoa,sempre alerta e ajudava a todos igualmente.A minha primeira série era sua primeira turma,primeiro emprego dela que nos incentivava a estudar e além disso prestar atenção e amar as pessoas a nossa volta.Hoje IARA está com 84 anos de idade e continua lembrando e chamando todos pelo nome,quando encontro com ela é de doer o coração emocionado.Obrigada por me deixar falar sobre escola e infância.Material escolar acho que teve sua importância...mas a primeira professora a gente nunca esquece.

Am a follower. Favourite was back in '83, after going back to school for about a week, we were off for two weeks as we were helping my parents clean and pack everything for our emigration to Canada!
ReplyDeleteHI, I too am a follower, my favourite school memory? I guess the only real going back to school memory I really have is my first year at secondary... a new school a new area (we moved in the summer), and no real expectations, we didn't know anyone (I am a twin), however, my Grandad used to teach at the school we went to. In hindsight my parents made a bad choice, but there we go... we fitted in ok, but missed out on our better school education x J x
ReplyDeleteFollowing. Your blog is great! I love making small blocks. My favorite school memory is the new books! I would bring them all home and read and read!
