Friday, February 01, 2008  The Friday Five  What about you? Any
memories from elementary school?     1. Wow--you have such
detailed memories. Let's see if I can do this . . .      1.
Kindergarten--I was in the morning (half-day) class. The teacher
wrote all of our home addresses on strips of construction paper,
and we had to stand up and pick ours off the board. Those kids
who knew theirs got their construction-paper address taken down.
The rest of us had to go through this every day until we learned
our address. I seem to remember that it took me a while to learn
"1670 Valencia Drive."      2. First Grade--My first grade
teacher was Mrs. Chamness, the lady we'd bought our house from a
year before. They went to our church, and Mrs. Chamness was my
mom's Mary Kay lady too.      3. Second Grade--My second grade
teacher was Mrs. Sanders. Our classroom adjoined through a large
doorway (that had a collapsible "curtain" wall that could be
closed) with another second grade classroom. The other teacher
taught us art.
