My grandma dug out a box of supplies she used back when she taught kindergarten, and I was fascinated by all of it, so I captured a few pictures to share with you and comment on. Some of you probably remember items like this used to teach you, I think it’s great that she still has them.
She got them out to go over the contents with N, but apparently the news hasn’t traveled far and wide yet that he is a FIRST GRADER. Needless to say, he knew everything… kids that know everything can be so annoying, but I gave him the EYE, and he sat back and ended up enjoying tolerating the things she had to show us.
These are all part of a flannel board set. Remember those? Crazy, but I do. Mostly in Sunday School though, not so much in Kindergarten.
These two sheets represent “Seasons”… Can you figure out what season it is? Funny that the kids are parked in front of the television - I don’t think that suggestion would fly in this day and age!
Oh look, the boy who wanted to sabotage the nostalgic moment go home has found something interesting! Although I didn’t realize until just now, how miserable he looks holding poor little Jack. What a pooper!
Still not interested?
I think it’s safe to say, No. He’s not interested. However, I was interested because I just adore anything retro or vintage, and this was right up my alley. I wanted to decoupage it onto something, and pronto! My grandma was really proud of her collection also, as she should be.
Hard to believe that stuff survived her 4 kids, 9 grand kids and now 4 great-grand kids. Actually, I find it hardest to believe it survived ME. She just have hidden it good when I was a child, knowing that somehow i would defy and destroy it in order to make something else more grand. Because that’s how I roll, ya herd?
Howdy! I'm the girl that writes here. This is where I organize my thoughts, and document the real life experiences of me and my son. You will find crazy funny stories, obsessively photoshopped pictures, some random yet awesome links, craftacular stuff, creative frugalness, and strong opinions here. Grab a drink, maybe one on the rocks, and sit for a spell. Oh, and read. This is a blog, after all!
