Mrs. Solomon's class. '98 - '99 I think. Belair Elementary School.

Now, this is a story all about how

My life got flipped-turned upside down

And I liked to take a minute

Just sit right there

I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised

On the playground was where I spent most of my days

Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool

And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school

When a couple of guys

Who were up to no good

Startin making trouble in my neighborhood

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared

She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

I begged and pleaded with her day after day

But she packed my suite case and send me on my way

She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.

I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.

First class, yo this is bad

Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.

Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?

Hmmmmm this might be alright.

But wait I hear there're prissy, wine all that

Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?

I don't think sow

I'll see when I get there

I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

Well, the plane landed and when I came out

There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out

I ain't trying to get arrested

I just got here

I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near

The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror

If anything I can say this cab is rare

But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8

And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'

I looked at my kingdom

I was finally there

To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

It took me until I started typing my reply (meaning reading the entire thread) until I got the name of my teacher.

Mrs. Kogen...and I guess the year would be something like '91-'92 or '92-'93? Never was good at remembering that stuff.

I was a first grader in Mrs. Baker's class from August 1987 - May 1988.

I learned how to read and write.

Started doing basic math like 1+1.

My favorite animal was dinosaurs. (T-Rex ftw)

Show your love!

Haha. T-Rex indeed!

Was in Mrs. Daniel's class from August 1995- May 1996.

Tied my shoes, starting writing in cursive.

I was a first grader from September 1988 - June 1989. I forget her name but she had red hair and her son was in my class.

I started at the California School for the Deaf in Fremont but transferred to a regular school the next year. I wish I had stayed a couple more years at Fremont; our mascot was the Eagles. The mascot of the school I transferred to was the Yellowjackets, which I thought was really, really stupid.

I was in Mrs. Polleum's (sp?) 1st Grade class in Cumberland Elementary School in Whitefish Bay, WI back during 1995-1996.

I learned how to guess accurately with amounts of beans in a jar, cursive writing, spelling, and working on my audio deficiency disorder with a therapist whose name I couldn't remember for the life of me.

Whenever we were told to draw animals, I drew cows. It must be a Wisconsin thing.

Our mascot was the cougar which was pretty cool.

Our cross-town rival was Richards Elementary School whom we affectionately called the "Rich Nerds". Secretly, one of my best friends was in that school.

I was part of a clique known as the Nerd Herd. We often debated school policies which we liked and actively fought against those we didn't agree with. Because of the Nerd Herd, I held the record for number of detentions in the third grade at 87. The Nerd Herd was kind of like the Vox Populi of Cumberland Elementary and the teachers were trying to ZI my education so I couldn't fight them very well.

I remember I had a gym teacher I was deathly afraid of. I kept on having nightmare that she forced me to dig my own grave. Scary stuff for a first grader.

Ahahaha

I went to a small village school where years 0-3 were in one class and 4-6 in the other, and I don't remember exactly what I learnt when, but exciting things like learning the numbers 1-10 and how to swim :P

Edit: also spam thread is spam )):
