I was watching the kids playing in the park and drawing with chalks on the hallway, thinking of me being like them when I was in their age. Little kids get nothing to worry, they chase each other, and they giggle and laugh out loudly, like I did. I can still remember how much fun I had in kindergarten. We always had activities, festivals, field trips and performances. Learning was not hard for me, actually it interested me. The teachers I met were nice, they were very patient and they were all ‘kids’ people. I was once in the kindergarten, eating snacks and playing in the sandbox just like the kids. Fun activities always make kids excited, including me. One of my favorite was the field trip, went to a real field, picked up tomatoes, strawberries and peas. I loved it and so did most of the kids in my class. Some girls were scared of the bugs and worms; they screamed and even cried badly. Of course the boys teased them at the first place. I was totally fine with the bugs somehow. We also went to a museum; it was all about science, space and physics. I thought it was pretty cool, plus it had air-conditioner which made it cooler than the field.
Then it was the classic Halloween parade, I dressed up as a princess just like all the girls did. I was wearing a pink dress, a shiny silver crown with some fake plastic diamonds and held a shiny silver star wound. I had makeup on my face, my cheeks were pink and my lips were red. This really made all the kids pumped. We got to dress up like Cinderella and Aurora; the boys were like Prince Charming and Prince Phillip. The most important part was the trick or treat, ever dressed up kids went to the decorated classrooms, sang the tricky song and got few treats from the witches, monsters, vampires and Barbie. All the kids had a great time with the teachers and parents. The activities we had in kindergarten were very amazing and awesome. I really enjoyed

    We played adding and subtracting games with blocks to improve math skills, wrote stories about different topics to improve reading and writing skills, built volcanoes to improve science skills, and arts and crafts. I came up with each activity on my own to accomplish the goal of creating a fun, yet educational learning environment for the students. At the end of the day other counselors and myself brought the students together for enrichment, a time for the children to let loose and be themselves. That was a time for the kids to dance, play sports, or just sit around and nap that was their time to rule the building. Outside of the site the students went on field trips that allowed them to be kids. The most memorable trip that was taking was our tip to Old Mississippi State Capitol where we learned about the history of our…

    Kindergarden was one of my most favorite years. I had the nicest teacher, Mrs. Tocheck. She would always play games with us like hiding and seek in the dark. Kendrick and I would always hide together and Mrs. Tocheck would never find us until she said she gave up and we would come out of hiding. Every day we would have stations set up during free time. There would be a dollhouse, a painting area, and a toy area. I would always go and paint pumpkins in October and bring them home to decorate the house. One time Kendrick, Ethan, and I made a huge fish made out of about ten pages of…

    As a child, my afternoons were filled with fun activities, whether that be classes in swimming, horseback riding, and gymnastics, or just sitting on the couch reading a book that was just released. Subjects such as college and AP classes were far from my mind. Sure I cared about doing well in school, but my concerns revolved more around the fun activities I planned outside of school.…

    The summer following my sixth grade year was full of kick the can, capture the flag, ghost in the graveyard, and many more games played with the neighborhood kids. Some games got out of hand at times. As I tried to tag Conner to stop him from scoring in our little game of capture the ball, I seemed to forget I had a tree in the middle of my yard and I ran straight into it. Once during a competition of “America’s Got Talent” Logan mooned all of us, leaving us girls petrified. Then one hot summer night I was running the bases as we continued our game of whiffle ball while Trenton started to pee in the open onto our homemade bases made of rocks... he didn’t receive chocolate chip cookies with the rest of us that night. Out of all our eventful times the one I treasure most is when we set up our own little camp site. We found two tents and connected them both in my backyard. We slept outside, one tent for the boys and one for the girls. Eventually the boys got scared by a gunshot we heard in the distance so they joined us but were kept at a distance by my mother who kept an eye on us that night. Long games of truth or dare were…

    Another activity that takes place in the mornings would be an art activity. The children have had four birthday celebrations since I have been interning at the Rose Kindergarten. Before every birthday celebration the children create drawings for the birthday boy or girl with crayons that are in the shape of squares and very think cylinder shapes. What I love about the paper is how the edges are rounded. Theses drawings are all put together to create a book. The book is fastened together with the hand died and spun yarn that the lead teacher, Mary has created. A child weaves it though the holes to complete the gift. More gifts are given to the birthday child, which includes treasures that the class has found from the outdoors. The last gift…

    Camp was one of my many highlights. At camp, I not only learned how to ride horses and square dance, but I also learned how to cope with different personalities. It was strange to be “living” with people in my grade, and in my situation, I wasn’t even with people in my class! But, I think on many levels that it was important to strengthen bonds with friends, and maybe even make new friends. My fifth grade concerts were also experiences that I will never forget.…

    I can remember that kindergarten was fun. I enjoyed story time the most. In our class we use to sit on the carpet in front of the class and my teacher would read us a story. We would also do exercise’s where my teacher would write words on the chalkboard and we would read them out loud. I enjoyed this exercise because I knew most of the words. Kindergarten was everything that my preschool teacher said it would be and I was happy.…

    Growing up, Sedaris had a good life. He had a loving family that supported him and made sure he was well taking care of. Sedaris’ friend, Hugh had a very difficult lifestyle. When Hugh was growing up as a child, he saw things that children should not be forced to witness. Hugh’s class took a field trip to a slaughterhouse one day, where they were treated to a pig’s execution. “…One of the brothers drew a pistol from his back pocket, held it against the animal’s temple, and shot the piglet, execution-style.” (Paragraph 6, page 109) At another occasion, Hugh witnesses a dead man on a telephone pole. “Unlike me, he left the theater two hours later, to find a dead man hanging from a telephone pole at the far end of the unpaved parking lot.” (Paragraph 10, page 110) Hugh was often neglected by this family and spent majority of his adolescence with surrogate parents. Hugh’s life wasn’t the not good at all but Sedaris wanted Hugh’s life.…

    We would work on little projects and go on field trips, so by the time I could go to school I had already experienced a lot. I knew how to read and write very well. I remember my first grade teacher, Mrs. Woods, the most. She always went out of her way to teach us new things, and would never tier of answering questions; I was one of those kids who had a million. Mrs. Woods started to notice how much I liked to write. During playtime, I would sit at the table and write short stories and "roses are red, violets are blue" poems. She started giving me individual writing projects to take home for the weekend. I loved it! I would get so excited that I would start working on it as soon as I got home.…

    Of all of the ways people enjoy their lives, none are looked back on as fondly as those that took place before the age of eleven or twelve years old. This is because before that age, the veil of security that protects children, otherwise known as the “innocence of childhood,” still existed. These early, protected years of childhood are, to…

    I loved being able to walk into the classroom and see all of those children run up to me with smiling faces saying that they miss me, asking me if I will be staying the whole day or asking me if I could play or read with them. They make me laugh, they give me hugs, they cheer for my presence and they are so observant. The most amazing feeling of all though is when the children tell me they…
