I recall a lot of coloring, playing outside on a dedicated playground for kindergarteners, and frozen green grapes at snacktime during the summer. Also scheduled naps which I never took. We had tables for coloring and crafts, but not desks, and sat around on the ground whenever the teacher would tell us a story. There was also this hippy-ish woman who literally drove up in a VW microbus -- crazy that I remember that -- and who taught us a bit about music. Singing and clapping along to syllables are the bits that come to mind. One other thing is that there were no fences around the school. It was a good way to grow up, and I'm going to do my best to ensure my kids get at least some of this.
