Kindergarten memories

 I  had a wonderful kindergarten experience at Concord Elementary School in St. Louis County, 1959-60.

There were lots of smooth wooden blocks, but one day we couldn't  play with them , because the afternoon class was constructing a "city." And then there was the soft pink paperback "Before We Read" workbook...
