So the students are Pengo, the Girl, Ora Zella, Iggy, and the fox that I’m sure also has a name. I wonder who will finish top of the class. Puck and the apple is a good throwback.
My brother is two years older; we used to play with his school flash cards. Also, Mom read to us; I think that helped a lot. I’m a big believer in reading by word recognition, using phonetics as backup, since that’s how I learned to read (the phonetics came with school). I was reading well by kindergarten; I actually remember figuring out the word “national” on my own! (Context is important; I was reading a Peanuts book, and Snoopy said it was National Dog Week.)
I was always very sick with something during very early school years. Fortunately sulfa saved me from a serious case of Pneumonia. But various lung diseases & other things kept me out of school. My mother taught me how to write cursive, & used school text books to keep me up to date in early class work in math, history & social studies.
Our daughter played school with her stuffed animals. Regina, a gibbon, was badly behaved—bad language and bad behavior. She spent a lot of time on time out.
On the subject of early, home lessons, both my sister and I learned to read from the comic pages. Thanks to my Mother, she had us reading pretty well before kindergarten. So it’s no surprise that my first lunch box was an old Snoopy lunch box. Complete with metal edges and very breakable thermos. LOL We had a rocking loveseat, so my Mother could rock both of us as she read to us.

I was a year older than my sister. I’d come in every day from first grade and teach my sister what I’d learned. No surprise. I became a teacher.

Pengo is paying particular attention. And Iggy makes a fine Teacher’s Assistant! But Clucky Chicken appears to be truant.

Ora Zella prefers her numbers to go “3…2…1…” and end with a “BANG!”

By right the post of professor belongs to Elvis. It is a dignified position for a most dignified cat. (ミゝᆽ╹ミ)

How many of us would gladly go back to elementary school if it meant we could be children again?
Speaking of age. Today, on Star Date 78137.3, I will have completed my 61st orbit of the Star Sol. Still waiting for my flying cars.
