From September 1956 through May 1957, we blazed the trail in Texas for kindergarten to become a tax-supported publicly-available class for children in their year before entering elementary school. We attended Mrs. Baird’s Kindergarten in a house near the old Greenville Avenue school building which is now the main administration building for the Richardson Independent School District.

We played and listened to stories and ate lunch and dressed in bunny costumes for Easter. And took naps every day before being picked up by our mothers.

Oh, those naps! We brought our own sleeping mats which we kept rolled up in our own cubby hole until we were ready to take them out, unroll them, and spread them out on the floor next to one another. Then it was time for milk and graham crackers as a quick treat accompanied by a story read by Mrs. Baird to lead us into those golden slumbers.

Bring your sleeping mat. This may be your last chance to sleep with a classmate!
