I remember

First day of preschool, sat next to a girl on the bus
then she was my best friend.

I remember how I got mad at her,
for drawing a picture of someone else
when we were supposed to draw a picture of a friend.

I remember how we made the friendship bracelets for each other,
I gave her a dolphin charm,
she gave me a giraffe.

I remember how the teacher told us 
they couldn't help us spell on our stories,
(probably what made me a 7th grade level speller in 2nd)

I remember how the new kid Cody,
became my best friend too.

I remember how I had to tell him,
best friends don spend every single second
with each other.

I remember how excited I was
when I got Mrs. Branch,

I remember how disappointed I was 
when I figured out me and my best friend
weren't in the same class.

I remember the words my best friend
said
on the first day of kindergarten,
I've got a new play-buddy.

I remember how I thought it was impossible 
to stay best friends while in different classes

I remember when I could finally
go on the "big" playground,
It made me feel so grown-up

I remember how I knew who everyone
"like-liked" :p

I remember when I 
became scared of the "fireman pole"
on the playground,

I remember
when I got Mrs. Twarog
for 1st grade, I was happy

I remember
the three blocky computers 
that everyone would fight for

I remember
when I showed everyone animal jam,
everyone loved it

I remember when my
class got chicks
I named two of them
Hamburger and french fry
hamburger was the class's favorite

I remember
how only one person's parents let them take chicks home
he took hamburger and one named guinea

I remember
the group for the kids who were
freakishly good at reading 
with Ms. Antonoli
I remember how I
begged and begged 
for a dog 
but I didn't get one

I remember how I got
to play a bush deer 
in Anansi and the moss-covered rock

I remember how
I cried at the end of that year,
how I missed school so much

I remember
when I got Mrs. O'brien
I was confused,
my brother had Ms. Hodge

I remember how we did
the green screen
I was one of the main actors for our little play

I remember how 
I got Mrs. Wallis 
for 3rd grade
I asked everyone in the catch area
but they all said they had someone else

I remember how I loved Mrs. Wallis
and her prize box

I remember that was the year of
memes 
literally!
The boys made a doge hut kingdom XD

I remember when I got Mrs. Whitman
I have the letter in mint condition

I remember how fourth grade
was the grade 
I felt best with my friends

I remember so many things
from fourth grade
I mean,
I'm in fifth!
but I'm kinda gonna skip the rest of fourth...

I remember when I got ms. Muroski,
probably the best teacher yet! 

I remember how I thought
fifth grade would be hard
it really wasn't.

I remember how I thought fifth grade was
going to be the best year




I remember,
The first day I heard the word 
"coronavirus"
it was on CNN10
I thought it was just going to stay
in China

I remember how it took over 
my life.
