I am a new kindergarten teacher. I think kindergarten is an important grade for kids.

Kindergarten is good for playing, singing, drawing, and social interaction.

Did you attend kindergarten as a kid? What do you remember about it? 
1_Wizard
I remember the alphabet people and getting to take them home. My favorite was Mr. M with the munchy mouth.

Did you use alphabet queue cards? Did you finger paint? 
1_Wizard
No I didn't do those things. Kindergarten has been around since the late 18th century!

That is a long time. Was it used to actually faithfully teach kids or was it a tool of conformity?

It was to serve children whose parents both worked outside of the home.

So it was actually altruistic then. I wonder when it morphed into what it iis today?
