Day 25: When school was just rice and beans

prompt 25- organic/botanical

I think the kids of the 1960-70s had more fun in school than the generations after us.

First of all most of us didn't go to pre-school so kindergarten was our first real experience away from home. Our biggest adjustments were learning to sit still, write our name, take a nap on command and do tons of hands on learning!

Play and art were one and the same. We were given easels with paper and big brushes to scoop up brightly colored paint, safety scissors, construction paper + Elmer's glue to decorate shoe boxes to keep our stuff in and reminded of course not to eat the paste.

I guess when I thought about organic/botanical my brain jumped to those early years when we made flowers and other decoration with glue and rice, seeds and beans.
