my 6th year of life was when i started pre-kindergarten. i was really excited to go to school like my big sister, jennifer. i was 5 when i started pre-k in january 1987.
i loved mrs. pedersen's class. she taught us the pledge of allegiance and how to sing america, the beautiful. we got to meet her husband, officer pedersen's talking police car. and i got to go to school with my good friend emmeline powell.
later in the year i started kindergarten. that was when i learned to read! that was pretty much the best thing ever. i also learned to write. my teacher gave me a special grip on my pencil so that, as a lefty, i'd hold it properly. kindergarten was also full of songs, i absolutely loved raffi's baby beluga; learning about dinosaurs, whales, colors and shapes; and plenty of playtime, in kindergarten my best friend was julie avila and we loved to do cartwheels on the playground.
