damn……. all of these were the best,

although i have to say P.E. was on that list,

playing dodgeball spin offs cause the school had banned them, capture the flag, and of course field trips, the local nature preserve is like a childrens whore or something.

As I was reading your post, I got terribly nostalgic. Being in college and missing the good ol’ carefree days of grammar school is NO FUN!

I remember waiting impatiently for the 5th grade to roll around, because that was the grade when you first got to carry a trapper keeper. My Skip-It was the SHIT…it even lit up!! And I will STILL eat a lunchable if it’s available!

Thank you for this refreshing trip down memory lane!

Seriously? You called the binders with velcro tabs “trapper Keepers?” They were Note Totes here in Ontario, and everyone had one. I would definitely agree with the Dunkaroos addition, but also Gushers. And the Scholastic Book Fairs, and the Pizza Hut Book-It program – getting free pizzas to read books? I’m totally in. Other awesome parts of elementary school: winter carnivals, walk-a-thons on school time…

C. Girl, we didn’t have YooHoo’s in the midwest when I was in school either. I discovered them much later in the southwest. I have friends from the east coast though, who remember them well. I guess they traveled west, like Coors beer traveled east.
