I remember going home with the dreaded note pined to my shirt from a KG nap time event.

As the second youngest of 6 boys I over heard my older brothers talking about somebody seeing a girls underwear at a movie or something. So during nap time, I flipped my carpet sample nap mat over, fuzzy side down, so I could scooch around with my toes and try to peek upbgirls dresses and see what all the hubbub was about. The teacher saw me and sent me home with a note pinned on my shirt for my mom to call her. Wow! That was the first time I ever saw my mom that mad, at me anyway. The ol ping pong paddle got a work out that night!!! cry

Older brothers have been the cause of a lot of trouble for many of us!

We had a full size tee pee set up in our Kindergarten class room. For story time, and nap time.

Yep, half the time I think the teacher just wanted some quiet time so that’s when nap time was.

I went to Montessori School starting at age 3 and instead of Kindergarten. Kids that were there until their parents got off work took naps. Kids whose parents picked them up at 3:00pm didn't. I remember the red and blue mats. I only had to take a nap once, when my regular teacher didn't show up and they put us with the other kids.

All I had was a big green bath towel to lay on. I really don't think I ever actually slept, though.

Now it is a different story...

Still remember the plastic smell of the mats. Our preschool was in the basement of the town hall which was also the local gun clubs indoor pistol range. All of that lead exposure might explain some of the dumb things my buddies and did???

When my dad passef, mom moved from my childhood home to an apartment. She brought me my naptime blanket which she had sewn for me. Been 50 years since I used it. Maybe I'll give it to my grandson....

If we caused any mischief our teacher made us stand holding a large book out at arms length. You could really begin to feel it after a few minutes.

More then once I got rapped across the knuckles with one of the pointers. A teacher threw a book at me for talking In class. I ducked and it hit the girl behind me and knocked her out of her chair. The god old days.

Totally remember the blue/red mats. Don't remember much else in KG. Maybe we were all invited to a girl classmate bday party and I didn't want to go to a girls bday party!
Memories of smacks, slaps, duct tape are all from higher grades, junior high!
