National Kindergarten Day

Here is a defintion of Kindergarten.
A school for young children, conducted on the theory that education should be begun by gratifying and cultivating the normal aptitude for exercise, play, observation, imitation, and construction; — a name given by Friedrich Froebel, a German educator, who introduced this method of training, in rooms opening on a garden.

My Kindergarten memories:
I enjoyed playing house. Snack time cold milk and one graham cracker. Plus our teacher brought her dog in for a visit.
