In which school grade do you remember.

I am 27 years old and I still have a few memories from PreSchool.

At age 42 I still remember 1st grade. I did not attend Kindergarten or pre-school.

[Max Norris]

Senility hasn't kicked in (yet/soon), still somewhat remember 1st, never went to kindergarten. 

[DConnell Member]

Started out in Kindergarten, and still remember a bit of it.

Same, 26 though.

[GuJu]

why wouldn't you remember pre-school or kindergarten first?

 

Weirdos...

[Mockingbird]

I still remember kindergarten like it was yesterday.

[Shiranui]

What a stupid question.

Unless the OP is 90 ans suffering from Alzheimers.

[Michael Scrip]

Kindergarten... age 5.

 

But I also remember sleeping in a crib as a child... so I obviously remember further back.

 

I have a crazy memory... it's a shame I never applied myself in school

30 years old, and i remember preschool very well. not sure what age that is. 4-5?

Was so much play. Graham Crackers and milk snacks, Slide shows and Reading Rainbow

 

I remember kindergarten and not being able to wait til i had the "grade" behind the class name such as being a first or second grader. They seemed so much older.

There are no such things as stupid questions, just stupid answers, soooooo

 

That being said I remember snippets about each grade starting at kindergarten.

[MtnDewCodeRedFreak]

I still remember attending preschool back in 1985 to 1988!

[PNWDweller]

40 yrs old here - I remember preschool with naps, and learning to write my name and the alphabet there.  I remember the recycled paper they used which had the big lines for big handwriting.

 

I also have a memory of looking at my window at the ocean (We used to have a place in Pacifica California on the beach) when I was on my changing table as a baby. I recalled it with vivid detail to my parents a few years back and they were astonished I remembered so much.  All the way down to the color of the walls in the room.   From there, various bits and pieces of my toddler years. 

 

Funny though, as I get older, the less detail I remember from daily things.

I definitely have many memories of preschool.

 

Though my fondest are probably kindergarten. Chocolate milk and naps FTW.

[LaP]

I partially remember all of them

Looks like pre-school is the popular answer. It's also my first memory of school.

[Gerowen]

I didn't go to pre-school, but I distinctly remember a few things about kindergarten.

 

1) Kissing the girl I had a crush on in front of the whole class while she wasn't looking and embarrassing her to death.

 

2) Getting into a fight and putting another little boy in the hospital.  He was a bully and turned around and stabbed me in the forehead with his pencil, so I jammed mine into the skin on his wrist and ran it up to his shoulder.  I can distinctly remember him sitting there screaming, "There's a hole in it!"  I was scared to death that I had literally killed this kid in self defense.  To this day I have a small blue dot in my eye brow where he almost put my eye out with that pencil.

 

3) For some reason or another, a boy shoved me into the door of the girl's bathroom, and then called a teacher's attention to it while one of the girls held me in there, so of course I got in trouble for going into the girls' bathroom.

 

4) Me and my "girlfriend" pretended we had these invisible little phones that we'd call each other on.  It was before the days of cell phones so I don't remember what we called them, but they were basically make believe cell phones.

 

5) I got my first BB gun (an air rifle), and proceeded to get it confiscated for 6 months when I tried to act all cool and accidentally shot out the kitchen window.

 

6) My teacher's name was Mrs. Dudgeon, but the kids all called her "Dungeon", and the assistant was Mrs. Beverly.  Mrs. Dudgeon had a daughter named Gabriela that we all called Gabby.

 

7) There was a computer lab across the hall from my kindergarten class that we used to play these weird old school DOS games where a giant mouse wanted us to do things like move all of the toys out of the yard and into his wagon, etc.  The computer's mouse was an old school IBM one where the two buttons kind of wrapped over the front end of the mouse body, and it had a roller ball underneath.  They were basically exercises to get us used to using a computer mouse.  This is also where we got introduced to "touch typing" where we'd get clocked on speed and accuracy of typing skills.

 

8) I remember my first day of kindergarten, my mom took me to my classroom, and then took me back out to the front of the school and had me take her back to the classroom 2 or 3 times without any assistance to make sure I could remember where it was.

 

9) I remember my kindergarten year we did a Christmas play where we had to sing Christmas carols, and I was a reindeer or something.  We had rehearsed a half a dozen times or so prior to the actual event, and when it came to actually doing the play, I had sang those songs so many times I had developed a headache, and got physically sick and walked out in the middle of one of the songs.

 

10) I remember also in kindergarten (could have been 1st grade) I had gotten so attached to a pair of Sonic the Hedgehog sneakers I had that I refused to tell my parents they were too small for my feet.  One day for whatever reason, the teachers checked our shoes or something and they found out mine were way too small and were starting to make my toes grow crooked, so the school resource center gave me a pair of shoes to wear.  My mom got SO embarrassed at the thought of the teachers thinking we were too poor to afford good shoes, so she immediately went out and bought me like 3 pairs of new shoes and returned the ones the school had given me.

 

I've got a pretty good memory if I sit down and try, but I've probably bored you guys long enough, not to mention my nyquil is kicking in so I'm gonna lay down,

Kindergarten, as I never went to preschool, that wasn't really something they had in southwestern Quebec where I lived at the time in the early 1980s.
