Our mother sang this song to my brother and me. I took it seriously and began my first year in school with delight. However I was a bit perturbed with my mother as she was quite protective and chose not to send me to Kindergarten because she thought I was too young to tramp through the snows in Golden, Colorado to get to school at age five. My happiness came when I became six years old and was required by the state of Colorado to enter first grade. Tehama Elementary School at http://www.raleys.com/reach/2546828.

Her car did not always start in cold weather and had to be parked on a ramp so it would roll backward and for some reason that sometimes worked to get it going. Most days I did have to "tramp" through the snow clad in my wool coat and pants. The wool outfit was warm but required drying when I got to the school room. The reality was that every child in the class wore such garb and it all came off to be placed on the radiating heaters located to one side of the classroom, so they would dry by the time school was out. The aroma of sweaty, wool garments permeated the room caus- ing a few touchy girls to pinch their noses at the smell. The boys seemed to be able to ignore the wafting odor but they sure enjoyed teasing the girls about it. One of the first assignments was for all students to sit in a circle and say the Alphabet letters and their sounds. I sat in total astonishment because I already knew the names and sounds as my mother had taught me at home. I was ready to Mother was a read and wasn't at all enthusiastic about waiting for everyone else in the class to conquer 26 names and sounds of the letters. I protested to the teacher, not very forcefully as I was shy in those days, she just pat- ted my hand and told me to wait for my turn. The teacher, Mrs. Anderson concentrated on the only letter I could not pronounce correctly which was "y" which always came out of my mouth with an "l" sound, not "yellow" but "lel- low." I was embarrassed to the max but managed to wait out the long teaching of the letters and when we began the "real' reading I had mag- ically conquered the "y" sound. It was a great relief as I had some idea that I would be banned from reading by my inability to pro- nounce the letter "y" to the teacher's satisfaction. This initial experience did not end my joy of attending school in future years. On days when I was ill and could not attend I was totally distraught. Perhaps that is why I ultimately chose teaching as a career. Tehama County Schools are opening preschool through high school. Parents are juggling their schedules and their funds in order to prepare their children for entry into the world of education. Teachers have prepared their classrooms and began their first teaching lessons of the new school year. School Buses dot the streets, students stand in line waiting for a ride. The first American kindergarten was established by Margarethe Meyer Schurz in 1856. Kindergarten, the word came from Germany and meant, "Chil- dren's garden." The original theory for Kindergarten was framed by Friedrich Froebel who was known as the father of kindergarten in Ger- many. He believed that children learn best through guided play, arts and crafts, and music. To that basic foundation, today's preschool and kindergarten programs add more cognitive and social skills. teachers of today are armed with research that show children are ready to learn at a much younger age than previously thought. Early education Carolyn Barber tunities for comprehensive learning. As an educator, I was always anx- ious to get to know a new batch of students. I looked forward to the opening of school and seeing the faces of the students. As the children and I built a sense of community we begin to experience the "ah ha's," the catching of new concepts, the reas- surance that we were capable of learning and thinking and doing. As teacher and students alike we had a renewal of learning each year. challenge is to be careful not to throw out the founda- tions of early learning.
