Childhood Memory About School before age of 8

My earliest childhood memory I can recall from school would be when I was about 6 0r 7 years of age.I went to a school called South Park Elementary with my 2 favorite cousins. We would love to get up and get ready for school. Before we left out the house our grandfather would give us 50 cents a piece. Back then 50 cents took you a long way! Once we arrived at school we had a little time to play before the bell would ring. When the first bell would ring that was for everyone to freeze. When the second bell would ring we were to go to line up in our area for class. I remember once everyone lined up and the principle had it settled we would be prompt to begin saying the "Pledge of Allegiance." I do believe at that age the most fun I remember about school was recess! Being able to play outside with my friends; playing dodge ball, jump rope, etc. The subject i enjoyed most was English. I would love when it was time to read, or do spelling test. Actually, it is still a subject I favor! I remember school being a time to learn and have fun with your friends, I was always excited about going to school.
