My class started in the afternoon so I would stay home, my mom would drop me at my grandma and aunt’s house for breakfast, cartoons, getting ready while she went to work. I went to school for lunch and just remember enjoying rug time and learning numbers and colors and singing with my friends. We had “center” time and each center had a theme of toys (kitchen, cars/trucks, blocks, I forget the rest) and I remember having so much fun using my imagination for each center - trying to channel more excitement similar to when I was 4/5 again at the age of 26 :)
