i don't recall having a teacher in the 1st grade. i know this sounds strange, but i went to a private school where everyone from grade 1-12, worked independently in these work books (different colors for diff. levels) in one huge room where we sat in our own little cubicle like area. when you finished the lesson, you had to go to this work station in the middle of the room and check your work. if you had any questions while working, we had these flags (an American flag and a Christian flag) that we raised and someone would come and help us. i'm sure we had to have had actual class time, but for the life of me, i can't remember those times.
9. Where did you go on your first ride on an airplane?

Your school sounded interesting, everyone grade 1-12 in one room working in books. I have never heard of it before. Cool.
You never snuck out the house! Girllllllllll LOL!
Your aunt would know your 1st best friend? You think she'll remember if you don't? LOL
now that i think about it, it was interesting. at the time, i thought it was the norm! when i was in middle and high school, one of my friends brought to my attention how out of the box it was.
yep, i never snuck out. i was a little goodie two shoes back then. and, for the most part, i'm still that way.
girl, my aunt remembers damn near everything about my childhood. it wouldn't surprise me in the least bit if she could tell me that.
Your school seemed interesting. I don't know how I'd have done in that environment besides the fact that I would be annoyed if they forced me to do work on my grade level.
Goody two shoes. :oP I bet people are beating down your door trying to corrupt you.
Appy? I went from Blogger Baby's Daddy to Appy? LOL!
from what i recall you didn't necessarily have to work on your grade level. i've always done really well w/ reading, so i was ahead in that area, and in math, well, i was right along w/ the other 1st graders. we kinda worked at our own pace.
well, i'm already a bit "corrupted," so the work's not too hard. it's how they go about doing it that's the true test.
yep, you're my Appy! lol... actually, i'm planning to change it back... in due time.
cool meme. My aunt knows everything about my childhood too. She says, since I was her first niece she was engrossed with me.
oh, i was the 1st niece (and grandchild), so yeah, my aunt and my grandmother remember a lot about me. sometimes i'm like, are you sure you're thinking of me because i don't recall any of that!
