School Days Survey

[jwyblejr]

My school was a little more.......complicated. Kindergarten and 1st Grade were part of the regular school. 2nd grade had their own building in another town. Then 3rd Grade went back to the main school.

At my school if we put stickers on our desks the janitors would kll us.

My school was brand spanking new so they tried to keep it perfect the whole time I was there.

They actually had carpeting throughout the whole school.

[jwyblejr]

The desks were always front sliders. They usually had a slot on the top to keep your pencils, as well as a slot in front inside the desk. I remember 6th grade right after Star Wars came out, most of the boys put those gum card stickers on their desks. Why the teacher (or janitor) never made them take them off, I'll never know.

At our school,the kids mostly put the stickers from the movies that were shown on their desk.

Mine looked like the ones pictured below. I remember some of the ones with the wooden seats being to small and very uncomfortable.

The desks were always front sliders. They usually had a slot on the top to keep your pencils, as well as a slot in front inside the desk. I remember 6th grade right after Star Wars came out, most of the boys put those gum card stickers on their desks. Why the teacher (or janitor) never made them take them off, I'll never know.
