Back when you were still allowed to play grounders at recess.

1. Getting one of these and immediately filling in all the lines between the provinces.

2. And the white space in "Hilroy."

3. Feeling the tips of your pre-sharpened pencil crayons.

4. Picking which colour duotang to use for each subject.

5. Laying out your first-day-of-school outfit.

6. Asking your mom to buy Dunkaroos for your lunch.

7. Counting your Crazy Bones.

8. Eating cereal with PJ Paul and PJ Aashna.

While your mom yelled at you to GO GET DRESSED FOR SCHOOL!

9. And that cereal? It was Trix...when they were actually shaped like fruit-type-things.

Which begs the question:

10. For French Immersion kids, remembering nothing upon entering the classroom for the first time.

11. Organizing your new pencils.

12. And getting the perfect stacked eraser pen to go with your pencils.

13. Trying on your snowsuit before back-to-school shopping.

14. Flubbing your way through the English/French version of "O Canada" at the first assembly of the year.

15. Getting your school calendar and putting a star next to every PD day.

16. Using packing tape and photos/magazine cutouts to decorate your agenda.

17. And finally, putting these little gloves on for your first walk to the bus stop.
