The bus driver no doubt had lots of issues with her youngest passengers on their first day.<br /><br />I remember nothing about my first days at school; not primary school, not boarding school and not even my second run at education in 2010. With the latter there is some chance I might find a written record somewhere in the Gigantic Clean-up and Tossout!<br /><br />AlphieAlphie Souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041492283753978975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-41135117635957301782017-02-03T22:27:43.549+00:002017-02-03T22:27:43.549+00:00Funny how things can be misconstrued, I think I...Funny how things can be misconstrued, I think I'm a master at that.

No, inappropriate books not welcome :) What a great idea, though, to get people out of their reading comfort zone.<br /><br />I feel bad for five-year-old Steve! I can't remember my first day of school but I do remember going with my mom, a teacher, when I was four. I had a really good day! The older kids were very kind to me. It was a one-room school in a small community so it was kind of like a big family.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-18319684421387403842017-02-03T16:47:08.165+00:002017-02-03T16:47:08.165+00:00That gold car looks like it has one of those metal...That gold car looks like it has one of those metallic "wraps" on it that have suddenly become a "thing". I love that blind date with a book idea. Very clever. I only have tiny little flashes of memory of my first day at school. Nothing jumps out. My dad dropped me off and picked me up so nothing too scary there. I do have memories of walking to school when I was older, probably 2nd or 3rd grade. I loved that walk. I like to make up interesting fantasies about the people living in the houses I passed.

I'm going to tell it to the librarian at my daughter's former elementary school!<br /><br />As for my first day of school, I'm told I went to all the little kids who were crying and said "Don't cry. This is going to be fun!" I think I had that sense because I had previously spent the day with my older brother in first grade and couldn't wait to start school myself. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-72130583745462681082017-02-03T13:58:14.354+00:002017-02-03T13:58:14.354+00:00my first days at school every year were pretty muc...my first days at school every year were pretty much the same. teachers calling roll calling me by my first name which I don't and have never used and I would never answer, not out of spite but just because I didn't hear my name, plus I usually wasn't paying attention.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-21662118189661951322017-02-03T13:53:16.942+00:002017-02-03T13:53:16.942+00:00Yes!

What a great idea and here I am a retired teacher with no school librarian to tell!<br />But then again, I'm going to be volunteering at the town library soon - maybe I'll suggest it to them.

Perhaps you could wrap up copies of "Think Big and Kick Ass in Business and Life". As the title suggests, it is a sweet and sensitive contemplation upon human existence. Another one you might wrap up is "Think Like a Billionaire".Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-66526083211994861212017-02-03T09:57:41.041+00:002017-02-03T09:57:41.041+00:00I was only three-years-old when it was my first da...I was only three-years-old when it was my first day at school so my memory of it is decidedly hazy.
