School Naptime

Who remembers Kindergarten naps
?

I sure do. We had milk and crackers. Had mats we laid on.

Yup we had kindergarten naps. Also got your paper shoe on the wall when you learned to tie your shoe laces

Yep, red and blue fold up mats.

Never attended kindergarten.
Waste of time.

Waste of time..? It was the best three years of my life!

And those yummy goiter pills.

Remember? I still take naps!

I had forgotten about them. Brings back some good memories. Thanks

Yup! Exactly what popped into my mind when I opened the thread!

I think the Naps were so that the Teacher could slip into the Coat Room for a quick hit from the Flask in her pocket.

She most likely would have either killed a kid or her self if not self medicated.

The one thing I actually learned and still do to this day!!

Got me beat by a year, lol.



I had a rug with Donald Duck, Chip and Dale. Was the envy of the class. (Both years)

Good memories thanks 330

Never had that experience. We did not have kindergarten until I was starting HS in 1962. I know our son enjoyed taking those "fake naps". Hard t be still and quite when you are not tired.

When I was that age, I don't think there was a thing called kindergarten. Just 1st grade at the age of 6. No naps that I remember.

No kindergarten in my little town. I think we had naps in 1st grade at our desks.

I went to Catholic school..I remember kindergarten SLAPS,,not kindergarten naps.Got to bring my .22 rifle to school for show and tell though. No one even got shot.

Never had them, then again we only went half a day.

Yes sir, still have a few mats somewhere in the basement; although the recliner is much more comfortable for taking naps now.

Our Kindergarten was in the basement of the towns Art Gallery.
Goodtimes

Everything one needs to learn is learned in Kindergarten.

Hahaha

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!!!

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.

We couldn't afford mats, we just put our heads down on the desks...

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.

We had to bring a rug from home.

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???

A tee pee for knap time was that the pp tee pee.

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....

I remember it, and the stool in the corner that when you were sent to sit on, you wore a paper dunce cap.

The left considers that child abuse now.

I had a rag tied around my mouth because I talked to much In class. All those teachers are dead know so I can't sue. LOL

That is how Norwegians evolved to become squareheads

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.

Nope.....the nuns just beat us

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!

After I walked fortyleven miles up hill through the snow did not have time for nap time. turned around and walked thirtyleven miles up hill through the snow to get home in time to milk the sixtyleven cows.

They taught you good math back then
